Abstract: The rational design of single-atom catalysts featuring excellent conductivity, highly accessible discrete active sites and favorable mass transfer is crucial for electrocatalysis but remains challenging. In this study, a reliable Ni-catalyzed and Ni-templated strategy is developed to synthesize a single-atom catalyst by transforming metallic Ni into single-Ni atoms anchored on hollow porous urchin-like (HPU) N-doped carbon (NC) (designated as Ni-NC(HPU)), which possesses high crystallinity and sufficient Ni-N4 moiety (2.4 wt %). The unique hollow thorns on the surface, good conductivity and large external surface area facilitate electron/mass transfer and exposure of single-Ni sites. As a result, the Ni-NC(HPU) catalyst exhibits remarkable activity and high stability for CO2 electroreduction. Moreover, this synthetic strategy can also be facilely extended to prepare distinct hollow porous architectures with similar components, such as the wire- and sphere-like ones.
