Herein, we elaborated a facile and generally applicable synthetic strategy to ensure confinement of uniformly dispersed noble-metal nanoparticles (Au, Pt, Rh, Ru, Ag, Pd and Ir) within various carbon morphologies with controlled loadings from 8 to 44%. The metal nanoparticles were small (~2 nm), but importantly were evenly distributed throughout the carbon support even at the highest loading, allowing for a significantly higher surface area for rapid and even selective catalysis.
