The design and synthesis of cheap, but effective, electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in the whole pH range remains a big challenge. Reported herein is a facile method for the synthesis of N,P‐codoped carbon nanosheets by thermal annealing of conjugated microporous polymer in the presence of phytic acid, which were used as efficient metal‐free electrocatalysts for ORR over the whole pH range, and are potential eye‐wearable biosensors for sensing of dissolved oxygen in tears or other body fluids.
