Highly dispersed ultrathin Pt nanoparticles embedded in N‐doped porous carbon (Pt@NPC) have been prepared by in‐situ chemistry replacement of Zn with Pt. The in‐situ chemistry replacement causes a strong interaction between Pt nanoparticles and N‐doped carbon. The observed superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of Pt@NPC can be ascribed to its structural features, including ultrathin particle size, high dispersion, large surface area, nitrogen dopant, and strong interaction between metal and support.
