Transition metal/carbon‐based composite materials have been considered as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In article number 1805324 , Bu Yuan Guan, Xiong Wen (David) Lou, and co‐workers report a dual‐metal–organic framework‐assisted pyrolysis strategy to synthesize cobalt‐iron alloy/N‐doped carbon hollow spheres. Benefiting from the abundant bimetallic active sites and porous conductive matrix, the unique alloy/carbon‐based materials manifest excellent electrocatalytic performance with enhanced activity and stability.
