Bicontinuous nanoporous N-doped graphene with tunable pore size is synthesized by nanoporous Ni-based chemical vapor deposition. The novel 3D graphene material shows an outstanding catalytic activity towards the oxygen reduction reaction with a low onset potential of -0.08 V and a high kinetic current density of 8.2 mA cm(-2) at -0.4 V.
