Ultrathin films of NiFe‐LDHs with parallel disposition of the crystallites have been achieved by means of an in‐situ hydrothermal approach in article 1400184 by E. Coronado and co‐workers. This investigation reveals the tremendous influence of the substrate surface on the growing mechanism. The potential applications of these films are demonstrated by the catalytic CVD pre‐ferential growth of carbon nanotubes, as schematically illustrated in the cover.
