An in situ source‐template‐interface reaction route is used for the nanocasting synthesis of 3D N‐doped hierarchical carbon monolith (NHPCM) composed of interconnected, branched mesoporous rods, with hierarchical porous silicon oxynitride monolith playing both roles of inorganic solid N source and template. The outstanding structural properties of NHPCM render it an excellent metal‐free electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction.
