Core/shell inverse opals are obtained by a multistep preparation process (see picture) involving the synthesis of inverse‐opal‐structured CeO 2 scaffolds and their conformal coating with TiO 2 shell layers. The size and shape of the resulting pores can be tailored by modifying the number of atomic layer deposition cycles.
