Abstract A metal‐free nanocarbon with an eggshell structure is synthesized from chitosan (CS) and natural spherical graphite (NSG) as a cathode electrocatalyst for clean zinc‐air batteries fuel cells. It developed using CS‐derived carbons eggshell, covering NSG cores. The synthesis involves the in situ growth of CS on NSG, followed by ammonia‐assisted pyrolysis carbonization. resulting catalyst displays curved completely coated showing superior oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance. In 1 M NaOH, ORR half‐wave potential reached 0.93 V, surpassing commercial Pt/C 50 mV. Furthermore, battery featuring achieves peak power density 167 mW cm ‐2 excellent stability, outperforming Pt/C. improved performance can be attributed to distorted energy band active sites form N‐C moieties. More importantly, thin eggshells induce built‐in electric fields that promote electron redistribution generate atomic charge waves around moieties carbon shells. As result, high positively charged stable C + adjacent N atoms optimize adsorption strength molecules, thereby facilitating
