Regular ZnO/TiO 2 heterojunctions were synthesized with a facile wet‐chemical method. In their Communication on page 8393 ff., H. G. Yang et al. report on the synthesis of ZnO/TiO 2 heterojunctions in which uniform wurtzite ZnO nanorod arrays grow only on the eight {101} facets of TiO 2 , while the other two highly reactive {001} faces remain clean. The resulting ZnO/TiO 2 heterojunctions exhibit enhanced photocatalytic performance.
