The metallothermic reduction of gaseous CO 2 is energetic enough to break down N 2 molecules, and thus results in N‐doping in the formation of nanoporous graphenic carbon. The N‐doped nanoporous carbon comprises both a highly porous graphenic and non‐graphitic matrix and a “doped” phase of homogeneously dispersed ordered graphitic nanodomains, which constitutes a very unique composite carbon structure. The resulting porous carbon with a high surface area and a high conductivity exhibits more favorable reactivity as a carbon conducting support in the O 2 cathode of Li‐O 2 batteries. More information can be found in the Communication by J. Lu, X. Ji et al. on page 692 in Issue 7, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cnma.201600112).
