Abstract High‐quality (Pd cube)@(Pt helix) core@shell nanoparticles, with a novel spiral‐structured shell and highly‐ordered tangential channels are successfully fabricated through a facile wet chemistry method with the help of N , N ‐dimethyloctadecyl ammonium bromide acetate sodium (OTAB‐Na). A bottom‐up synthesis strategy provides accurate control of layers by simply changing the molar ratio of Pt/Pd with a uniform layer thickness of 2 nm maintained in all (1–3)‐rounds samples. The irregular Pt superstructures of the shells, and sophisticated core@shell hybrid materials endow the as‐produced samples with highly enhanced catalytic properties, when evaluated for hydrogenation of nitrobenzene as a probe reaction.
