Efficient structure optimization is one of the key factors for improving the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic performance of carbon materials. This paper describes a dual-template method for fabrication of new carbon materials as ORR catalysts, including N-doped carbon nanosheets and nanoflowers with holey mesopores, by employing a polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer as the pore-forming agent, layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets or nanoflowers as the sacrificial morphology-directing template, and m-phenylenediamine as the carbon precursor. The resultant carbon materials possess a honeycomb-like mesoporous structure with similar nitrogen contents of ∼4 wt%, an average pore size of ∼14 nm and a specific surface area of ∼260 m2 g-1. Due to the presence of the holey mesopores that facilitate mass transfer and may shorten the diffusion distance of O
