Nanocomposites represent an interesting class of materials because their applications are of multidisciplinary importance. Herein, interactions at the interface of heterostructures, leading to superior performance and sometimes to synergistic interactions, are highlighted. Although the types of junctions seem to be similar in different fields, the requirements for their function is device-dependent and thus no generally valid recipe can be utilized. Nonetheless, the overlap between research fields unveils the unique opportunity to combine the different knowledge and expertise as an inspiration to designing new composites for photoelectrochemical water splitting, photocatalysis, chemoresistive sensors, batteries, and composite multiferroics. A non-comprehensive overview is provided with focus on selected examples to highlight the concepts behind these nanojunctions.
纳米复合材料是一类有趣的材料，因为它们的应用具有多学科重要性。本文重点介绍了异质结构界面处的相互作用，这些相互作用带来了卓越的性能，有时还会产生协同作用。尽管不同领域中结的类型似乎相似，但其功能要求因器件而异，因此无法采用通用的有效方法。尽管如此，研究领域之间的重叠揭示了一个独特的机会，即可以将不同的知识和专业技能结合起来，为设计用于光电化学水分解、光催化、化学电阻传感器、电池和复合多铁性材料的新型复合材料提供灵感。本文提供了一个非全面的概述，重点关注选定的示例，以突出这些纳米结背后的概念。
