Several novel strategies have been developed by tailoring nanocrystals (NCs) to improve their catalysis and sensing performances. In article number 1500140, Y. Shang and L. Guo review in detail the three main Cu 2 O facet‐controlled synthetic strategies (deposition, etching and templating) for fabrication of Cu 2 O‐based NCs with heterogeneous, etched, or hollow structures. This review also covers the relationship between the structures of Cu 2 O‐based NCs and their facet‐dependent properties.
