The back cover depicts bimetallic and asymmetric Au@Pd‐Au tadpoles having a tail composed of a single Au nanorod and a spherical head composed of core–shell Au@Pd decorated with small Au NPs islands. This material was obtained by a combination of Au deposition and Ostwald ripening at the surface of Au@Pd core–shell NPs. Their morphology could be tailored by controlling the amount of AuCl 4 − precursor and the reaction time, leading to shape‐dependent optical and catalytic properties.
