Catalytic carbon: Nitrogen‐doped porous carbon (CN x ) electrocatalysts are derived from inexpensive melamine formaldehyde resins. These potential PEMFC catalysts are synthesized by using a facile method, which yields materials that contain a meso‐ and macroporous structure. The carbon‐based materials display attractive catalytic activity toward ORR and superior stability compared to a commercial Pt‐based catalyst.
