Delicate control of the shell structure of hollow spheres leads to enhanced mass transport, as described by Dan Wang and co‐workers in their Research Article on page 6926. The prepared hollow multishell structures (HoMSs) with close duplicated shells (yellow) and bubble‐like shells (green) can promote gas release owing to the unbalanced Laplace pressure and accelerate liquid transfer for the enhanced capillary force compared to the HoMSs with non‐duplicated solid shells (red), thus exhibiting superior electrocatalytic performance.
