In recent years, one-dimensional (1D) polymer-inorganic nanocomposites have attracted considerable attention due to their unique structures, excellent properties and tremendous application prospects. Since the composite of the inorganic phase and polymer phase in the nanoscale could remarkably promote the intrinsic properties and the functions, the corresponding materials exhibit outstanding performances in electron transmission, optical properties, mechanical properties and so on. Many of them possess application potentials in the fields of electronic devices, energy storage devices, photochemical sensors, catalysts and other fields. By enumerating several different 1D polymer-inorganic composite nanostructures, three commonly used strategies, including template synthesis method, electrospinning method and 1D assembly method are summarized herein. The principles and the characteristics of various preparation methods are introduced. Finally, the outlook for future development is prospected.
