Well‐defined noble metal dendritic structures (see Figure) can be synthesized with the assistance of ultrasonic waves and using a Raney nickel template, as revealed here. Interestingly, Raney nickel is demonstrated to act not only as the template but also as the reducing agent. Advantages of this method include mild reaction conditions and easy removal of the template.
