Abstract	Abstract Exploring low-cost and highly efficient non-precious metal electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction is crucial for the development of fuel cells. Herein, we report the synthesis of bamboo-like N-doped carbon nanotubes with encapsulated Fe-nanoparticles through high-temperature pyrolysis of multiple nitrogen complex consisting of benzoguanamine, cyanuric acid, and melamine. As-prepared catalyst exhibits high catalytic activity for oxygen reduction with onset potential of 1.10 V and half-wave potential of 0.93 V, as well as low H2O2 yield (
