Squaring the circle : Carbon monoxide was used to grow faceted cube‐like platinum tips on semiconductor nanorods (see scheme). These novel hybrid structures reveal a new degree of synthetic control and might allow control over the catalytic activity of nanoscale photocatalysts by adding defined faceting.
