Selective oxidation of alcohols to corresponding aldehydes and ketones is an essential process for the synthesis of various chemicals. J. Gong and co‐workers describe the design and synthesis of gold nanorod@TiO 2 yolk–shell catalysts via an improved silica template method as an efficient visible light‐driven photocatalyst. On page 1892, with a hollow TiO 2 shell and a tunable cylindrical gold core, the catalyst exhibits a high surface area and wide absorption range from UV to NIR. A remarkable photochemical activity is obtained when such catalyst applied to the oxidation of benzyl alcohol.
