Metal nanoparticles decorate the segmented node sheaths of a unique 1D ternary hetero‐nanorod [structure shown in the picture; nanorod: ZnS (Zn blue, S yellow); node sheaths: CdS (Cd orange); nanoparticles: gold (Au purple)]. In their Communication on page 11495 ff., J. Jiang, S.‐H. Yu, and co‐workers show how this system is constructed by a sequential chemical‐transformation strategy and that this arrangement enables steered charge flow for electron–hole separation and hence efficient photocatalysis.
