A new type of hollow carbon material consisting of adamantane-shaped, hierarchically micro- and macro-porous N-doped carbon nanoframes was prepared by exploiting selective etching and pseudomorphic thermal conversion of ZIF-8, which showed superior adsorption performance for large dye molecules as well as electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction.
