Porous carbon nanofibers containing iron and nitrogen, represented by the cubes containing the nanofibers in the image, are developed by J. Luo, J. Zhu, and co‐workers to efficiently catalyze the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells. As described on page 4072, the nanofibers are produced from electrospun polymer fibers that are denoted by the flower‐like fiber bundle with an open end in the image. When the oxygen bubbles meet the nanofibers, energies (‘lightning’ from the bubble centers) can be generated.
