Zero‐dimensional ZnS/CdS nanocomposites (NCs) are designed based on the controlled growth of ZnS nanoparticles by X. S. Fang and team on page 445. The as‐obtained NCs are functionally versatile and offer great optoelectronic properties. For example, the photo‐degradation rate of ZnS/CdS NCs towards organic dyes under UV light is three times as much as that of pure ZnS nano‐particles, due to the effective charge separation and increased specific surface area.
