A facile synthesis of highly branched core–shell nanoparticles with unique dandelion‐like morphology comprising Pd core and Pt shell is presented. The Pd@Pt core–shell nanoparticles efficiently catalyze the reduction of a range of olefins with excellent yields. Synergistic effects due to a large surface area and unique micro–mesoporous structure, with mesopores that are several tens of nanometers in size, lead to superior catalytic behavior.
