A novel in situ replication and polymerization strategy is developed for the synthesis of Fe‐N‐doped mesoporous carbon microspheres (Fe‐NMCSs). This material benefits from the synergy between the high catalytic activity of Fe‐N‐C and the fast mass transport of the mesoporous microsphere structure. C...
