Highly decorated! A direct and efficient way to decorate TiO 2 nanotubes with copper, Cu 2 O and CuO particles is shown. Active palladium species embedded in the TiO 2 nanotube walls allow specific initiation sites to be triggered for electroless copper deposition. These Cu 2 O‐decorated TiO 2 nanotubes could be used for water splitting.
