Metal‐free heteroatom‐doped carbocatalysts with a high surface area are desirable for catalytic reactions. In this study, we found an efficient strategy to prepare nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur co‐doped hollow carbon shells (denote as NPS‐HCS) with a surface area of 1020 m2 g−1. Using a poly(cycl...
