A coaxial nanohybrid consisting of a single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT), fullerodendron, and SiO 2 is created from a bottom‐up approach by Yutaka Takaguchi and co‐workers and shown to act as a photocatalyst, as reported on page 5750 . The SWCNT/fullerodendron/SiO 2 coaxial nanohybrid demonstrates highly efficient hydrogen evolution from water upon visible‐light irradiation in the presence of methyl viologen, benzyldihydroni‐cotinamide, and a colloidal polyvinyl alcohol–Pt.
