In article number 1900085, Shan Ji, Rongfang Wang and co‐workers develop Mn nanoparticles within mesoporous helical N‐doped carbon nanotubes (Mn@HNCNTs) using melamine through pyrolysis in molten salt medium. The optimized Mn@HNCNT catalysts deliver not only a negative onset and half‐wave potential for the oxygen reduction reaction but also a higher cell voltage and capacity in zinc–air cell compared to Pt/C.
