Macroporous materials with void sizes above 200 nm have interesting optical properties in the visible part of the spectrum. Here, a strategy is presented for producing large‐area thin films of macroporous titania containing interconnected and close‐packed pores (see Figure). Since the pores are highly ordered they possess strong diffractive properties (see also cover).
