Janus particles have different features/chemistry on two opposite sides (see figure) . So far, they have been obtained mainly by two‐dimensional synthetic methods, which are able to break the symmetry but limit the amount of produced particles. A true bulk approach, based on bipolar electrochemistry, is presented that allows the straightforward synthesis of such asymmetric micro‐ and nano‐objects.
