Thinking outside the box : The position‐ and number‐selective growth of Ag nanocrystals on Ag 3 PO 4 submicro‐cubes by an in situ reduction technique is demonstrated (see figure). These new Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 heterocubes exhibit higher photocatalytic activities than pure Ag 3 PO 4 cubes for the degradation of organic dyes under visible‐light irradiation.
