Self‐assembled M–N‐doped carbon nanotube aerogels with single‐atom catalyst feature are for the first time reported through one‐step hydrothermal route and subsequent facile annealing treatment. By taking advantage of the porous nanostructures, 1D nanotubes as well as single‐atom catalyst feature, the resultant Fe–N‐doped carbon nanotube aerogels exhibit excellent oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalytic performance even better than commercial Pt/C in alkaline solution.
