The　development　of　novel　strategy　to　produce　new　porous　carbon　materials　is　extremely　important　because　these　materials　have　wide　applications　in　energy　storage/conversion,　mixture　separation,　and　catalysis.　Herein,　for　the　first　time,　a　novel　3D　carbon　substrate　with　hierarchical　pores　derived　from　commercially　available　Cu-MOF　(metal　organic　framework)　(HKUST-1)　through　carbonization　and　chemical　etching　has　been　employed　as　the　catalysts＇　support.　Highly　dispersed　Pt　nanoparticles　and　amorphous　nickel　were　evenly　dispersed　on　the　surface　or　embedded　within　carbon　matrix.　The　corresponding　optimal　composite　catalyst　exhibits　a　high　mass　specific　peak　current　of　1195　mA　mg(-1)　Pt　and　excellent　poison　resistance　capacity　(I-F/I-B　=　1.58)　for　methanol　oxidation　compared　to　commercial　Pt/C　(20%).　Moreover,　both　composite　catalysts　manifest　outstanding　properties　in　the　reduction　of　nitrophenol　and　demonstrate　diverse　selectivities　for　2/3/4-nitrophenol,　which　can　be　attributed　to　different　integrated　forms　between　active　species　and　carbon　matrix.　This　attractive　route　offers　broad　prospects　for　the　usage　of　a　large　number　of　available　MOFs　in　fabricating　functional　carbon　materials　as　well　as　highly　active　carbon-based　electrocatalysts　and　heterogeneous　organic　catalysts.
