In article number 1900994, Martin Pumera and co‐workers report a new approach for fabricating desired, active electrodes for electrochemical energy applications involving metal 3D‐printing and atomic layer deposition (ALD). By combining 3D‐printing and ALD, tailored electrodes with conformed catalyst layers on 3D‐printed bases, with any shape, can be achieved. Stainless steel 3D‐printed electrodes are modified with TiO 2 by ALD and their photoelectrochemical properties are investigated to illustrate proof‐of‐concept.
