In article number 2100012, Lihong Zhou and co‐workers demonstrate that the hydroxyl group on amylopectin serves as the nucleation site for calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate with different morphologies is synergistically induced by different metal ions and amylopectin. Pure amylopectin induces the formation of pumpkin‐like vaterite; Mg/amylopectin synergistically induces the formation of rod or dumbbell‐like calcite, and Fe/amylopectin synergistically induces the formation of cubic calcite with stepped depression.
