Since first being reported as possible electrocatalysts to substitute platinum for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), carbon‐based metal‐free nanomaterials have been considered a class of promising low‐cost materials for clean and sustainable energy‐conversion reactions. However, beyond the ORR, t...
