High‐quality Pd@CeO 2 core@shell nanocomposites with tunable Pd core sizes and shapes were obtained by using the biomolecule l ‐arginine to trigger CeO 2 crystal growth and self‐assembly on Pd nanoparticles. In their Communication on page 4542 ff., H. J. Zhang, R. Jin, S. Song, and co‐workers study the growth mechanism of this process and show that the hybrid structure of the nanocomposites is more important in determining their catalytic performance than shape and size effects.
