An efficient method has been successfully realized for the controlled synthesis of various metal/carbon nanoarchitectures. The formation of metal/carbon nanocables and nanochains via a facile and mild hydrothermal carbonization co‐reduction process (HCCR) is reported. The method involves the use of starch and noble metal salts as starting materials under mild conditions (≤ 200 °C).
