Abstract A “butterfly‐like” metal templated borate, [Co 2 (bpy) 4 (C O )]·[B 5 6 (OH) ] ·py (1, bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine, py pyridine), was synthesized via a solvothermal method. For the first time, coordination of Co 2+ ions with ) 2− in borate systems observed. Notably, upon pyrolyzing precursor compound 1 , high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) revealed catalyst carbon‐supported nanocrystal structure, which significantly enhanced oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance, achieving half‐wave potential comparable to that Pt/C. More importantly, outperformed Pt/C when applied zinc‐air battery.
