Abstract Designing novel single‐atom catalysts (SACs) supports to modulate the electronic structure is crucial optimize catalytic activity, but rather challenging. Herein, a general strategy proposed utilize metalloid properties of trap and stabilize single‐atoms with low‐valence states. A series supported on surface tungsten carbide (M‐WC x , M=Ru, Ir, Pd) are rationally developed through facile pyrolysis method. Benefiting from WC exhibit weak coordination W C atoms, resulting in formation active centers similar metals. The unique metal‐metal interaction effectively stabilizes single atoms improves orbital energy level distribution sites. As expected, representative Ru‐WC exhibits superior mass activities 7.84 62.52 mg Ru −1 for hydrogen oxidation evolution reactions (HOR/HER), respectively. In‐depth mechanistic analysis demonstrates that an ideal dual‐sites cooperative mechanism achieves suitable adsorption balance H ad OH energetically favorable Volmer step.

Abstract Efficient dual‐single‐atom catalysts are crucial for enhancing atomic efficiency and promoting the commercialization of fuel cells, but addressing sluggish kinetics hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in alkaline media facile site generation remains formidable challenges. Here, we break local symmetry ultra‐small ruthenium (Ru) nanoparticles by embedding cobalt (Co) single atoms, which results release Ru atoms from on reduced graphene oxide (Co 1 1,n /rGO). In situ operando spectroscopy theoretical calculations reveal that oxygen‐affine Co atom disrupts nanoparticles, resulting parasitic within nanoparticles. The interaction between forms effective active centers. parasitism modulates adsorption OH intermediates sites, accelerating HOR through faster formation *H 2 O. As anticipated, /rGO exhibits ultrahigh mass activity (7.68 A mg −1 ) at 50 mV exchange current density (0.68 mA cm −2 ), 6 7 times higher than those Ru/rGO, respectively. Notably, it also displays exceptional durability surpassing commercial Pt catalysts. This investigation provides valuable insights into hybrid multi‐single‐atom metal nanoparticle catalysis.

Abstract Rhenium disulfide (ReS 2 ) holds expansive perspective in photocatalytic water‐splitting field, but its H ‐production rate is severely impeded by the strong hydroxyl (OH ad adsorption on catalytic Re atoms.
