Branched metal nanostructures are of great technological importance because of their unique size‐ and shape‐dependent properties. A kinetically controlled synthesis that uses polymorphism to produce branched nickel nanoparticles is presented. These nanoparticles consist of a face‐centred cubic ( fcc ) core and extended arms of alternating fcc and hexagonal close‐packed ( hcp ) nickel phases.
