A one‐step soft‐template induced strategy is demonstrated for the controlled synthesis of nitrogen‐enriched core–shell structured cobalt−carbon nanoparticles (NPs) sequentially aligned on wrinkles of N‐doped carbon nanosheets (Co‐C@NWCs). The key feature of Co‐C@NWCs for ORR catalysis enhancement is that it combines high catalytic centers of Co‐C core–shell NPs with the wrinkle of carbon nanosheets with high electron donation ability.
