Watch your step! Decoupling the individual contributions of edge‐plane steps (A) and basal‐plane terraces (B) to the voltammetry of graphite electrodes can provide information of fundamental importance. This was done by selectively blocking the basal‐plane terraces with insulating material to form nanotrench arrays of edge‐plane graphite.
