Don′t worry, B‐happy: Hollow carbon spheres (HCSs) that were modified by doping with boron (B‐HCSs) by using a CVD method showed high thermal stability compared with undoped HCSs. Pd was more‐homogeneously dispersed on the surface of B‐HCSs than on HCSs or on activated carbon. Pd/B‐HCS is a selective, highly efficient, and recyclable catalyst for the solvent‐free oxidation of alcohols.
