Fuel cell technology that can directly convert chemical energy into clean and sustainable electricity by reducing oxygen gas and oxidizing fuel (eg, hydrogen gas) with water as the only by-product is promising to solve the current global energy and environmental challenges.[1] Owing to its high energy conversion efficiency, virtually no pollution, and good sustainability, the fuel cell technology has recently received ever increasing research interest.[2, 3] However, large-scale commercialization of the fuel cell technology has been hindered by the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode.[4, 5] Although platinum (Pt) and Pt-based alloys have been proved to be the most efficient electrocatalysts for ORR, the limited resource and the high cost of Pt have also made Pt-based catalysts the primary barrier for fuel cells to be commercialized for large-scale applications.[6] To address this issue, great efforts have been devoted to the development of highly active and low-cost electrocatalysts for ORR.[7–10] During the past decades, non-precious metal nitrogendoped carbon (M-NC) materials have been widely studied as alternative ORR catalysts due to their outstanding catalytic performance, along with a relatively low price and abundant supply.[11–14] The M-NC catalysts can be prepared either by post-treatment of the nitrogen-doped carbon materials or through in situ doping through carbonization of metal-organic compounds.[15–18] Recently, pyrolysis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), organic polymers (COPs) has been recognized as a promising approach to M-NC catalysts with unique 3D porous graphene-like morphologies and high catalytic activities.[19–25] However, this approach often involves multi-step
