On page 9949, R. Amal and co‐workers describe Au‐Pt‐Ni core‐sandwich‐shell nanorods for high selectivity H 2 O 2 production via direct oxygen reduction. The epitaxial growth allowed for the tuning of the oxygen reduction pathway to selective 2e− reduction. Moreover, the transitional high‐work‐function Pt at the interface is believed to further influence the degree of lattice strain, and hence further positively affecting the catalytic properties.
