A strategy to maximize the metal‐oxide interfaces is proposed by coating confined nanoparticles with an ultrathin oxide layer. The main features of the designed catalyst are: Al 2 O 3 nanotubes, confined Pt nanoparticles, and ultrathin Al 2 O 3 coats. These features are represented in the cover‐page graphic. The Pt nanoparticles (yellow ball) were partially embedded in the internal wall of the Al 2 O 3 nanotubes (gray cylindrical tube) and uniformly coated by the ultrathin Al 2 O 3 layer (gray ball). More information can be found in the Communication by Z. Gao, Y. Qin et al. on page 8438 ff.
