    Herein we report a simple dual‐soft‐template approach to prepare walnut‐shaped macro‐/mesoporous polydopamine particles with diameter of ca. 270 nm, highly accessible bicontinuous channels and wide pore size distribution from ca. 20 nm to ca. 95 nm. This approach provides great opportunities to tailor the soft template‐directed assembly processes and generate various polydopamine particles with controllable mesophase curvature. Walnut‐shaped mesoporous carbon particles with large open mesochannels in the range of ca. 13 nm to ca. 50 nm can be fabricated by subsequent thermal treatment under nitrogen atmosphere. Lastly, we demonstrate that the as‐derived walnut‐shaped carbon particles manifest enhanced electrocatalytic performance for oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline electrolyte. Hole nuts: Novel walnut‐shaped macro‐/mesoporous particles are prepared through a dual‐soft‐template strategy. This approach provides great opportunities to tailor the polymer‐directed assembly processes and generate various polydopamine particles with controllable mesophase curvature. Their dervied carbon particles can be used in the oxygen reduction reaction.
