Replacing the rare and precious platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts with earth‐abundant materials for promoting the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode of fuel cells is of great interest in developing high‐performance sustainable energy devices. However, the challenging issues associated with...
