The epitaxial growth of homogeneously alloyed AuAg shells on Au nanorods is achieved by Y. Han and co‐workers via a precisely controlled synthesis. On page 5214, they show how the resulting core–shell‐structured bimetallic nanorods integrate the merits of the AuAg alloy with the advantages of anisotropic nanorods, exhibiting strong, stable, and tunable surface plasmon resonances.
