The composite material Pd nanocubes@ZIF‐8 was fabricated by the incorporation of Pd nanocubes into the metal–organic framework ZIF‐8, and is an efficient catalyst of the hydrogenation of olefins at room temperature under light irradiation. In their Communication on page 3685 ff., H.‐L. Jiang et al. explain that the superior performance of this material is due to the plasmonic photothermal effect of the Pd nanocubes and the multiple roles (H 2 enrichment, size exclusion, Pd stabilization) of the ZIF‐8 shell.
