On page 2222, K. Yu and team show that light absorption at the metal surface allows remote, localized generation of heat for enhanced chemical reaction rates only near the beam spot. A solution‐processed photohydrothermal material synthesis via pulsed laser superheating of precursor solution takes advantage of such effects to enable ultrafast and localized growth of functionalized metal oxide materials.
