Visible‐light‐driven nanocatalysts are of great interest for efficient decomposition of organic pollutants in wastewater. Bo Jiang and co‐workers report the assembly of synergetic photocatalytic Au/TiO 2 /RGO nanostructures in article number 1600323. Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) enhance visible‐light harvesting, while reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets concentrate organic pollutants near the catalysts and efficiently separate the photogenerated electron–hole pairs.
