In article number 2009197, Zhiqun Lin, Yingkui Yang, and co‐workers craft single‐atomic Fe sites and graphitic layer‐wrapped Fe 3 C nanoparticles (Fe 3 C@GL NPs) simultaneously encapsulated within 1D N‐doped hollow mesoporous carbon tubes (denoted Fe‐N‐HMCTs) as a high‐performance oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalyst. The superior ORR performance of Fe‐N‐HMCTs can be collectively ascribed to the synergy of the favorable configuration of active sites (Fe‐N x sites and Fe 3 C@GL NPs) and advantageous 1D hollow tubular architecture containing adequate mesoporous surface.
