A synthetic method is developed for the preparation of N‐doped porous carbon through hydrothermal treatment at controlled temperatures, using glucose and dicyandiamide as precursors, and ZnCl 2 as an activation reagent. The samples exhibit remarkable catalytic activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media, comparable to that of state‐of‐the‐art Pt/C catalysts, as discussed by L. Li, S. Chen et al. on p. 803 .
