AB  - The unique properties of a holey graphene sheet, referred to as a graphene sheet 
      with nanoholes in its basal plane, lead to wide range of applications that cannot 
      be achieved by its nonporous counterpart. However, the large-scale solution-based 
      production requires graphene oxide (GO) or reduced GO (rGO) as the starting 
      materials, which take hours to days for fabrication. Here, an unexpected 
      discovery that GO with or without holes can be controllably, directly, and 
      rapidly (tens of seconds) fabricated from graphite powder via a one-step-one-pot 
      microwave assisted reaction with a production yield of 120 wt% of graphite is 
      reported. Furthermore, a fast and low temperature approach is developed for 
      simultaneous nitrogen (N) doping and reduction of GO sheets. The N-doped holey 
      rGO sheets demonstrate remarkable electrocatalytic capabilities for the 
      electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction. The existence of the nanoholes 
      provides a "short cut" for efficient mass transport and dramatically increases 
      edges and surface area, therefore, creates more catalytic centers. The capability 
      of rapid fabrication and N-doping as well as reduction of holey GO can lead to 
      development of an efficient catalyst that can replace previous coin metals for 
      energy generation and storage, such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries.
