Hollow‐carbon‐sphere‐based Fe‐N‐C catalysts containing Fe/Fe 3 C nanoparticles and Fe‐N x configuration can operate in alkaline, acidic, and neutral solutions for oxygen reduction reactions. It is highly desirable for such electrocatalysts to have multi‐adaptability in a wide pH range, which may particularly promote the development of the microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) technology and broaden the range of practical applications, such as new energy vehicles, power stations, and wastewater treatment.
