Abstract Electrochemical reforming of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) coupled with hydrogen production is great significance to realize the sustainable development clean energy technologies. Nevertheless, precisely controlling reaction pathways and selectively converting key intermediates during glycol oxidation (EGOR) pose considerable challenges. Herein, theoretical calculations experiments reveal that intermediate (*CHO‐CHO) role P in promoting reconstruction transition metal phosphides surface EGOR process. Consequently, bio‐template strategy introduced design bimetal phosphide@bio‐carbon pre‐catalyst toward efficient evolution (HER). This enables controlled *CHO‐CHO formation transformation through enhanced adsorption OH* *CHO‐CHO, leading a highly selective EGOR. The C1 product formic acid exhibits superior Faradaic efficiency (99.1%) at 1.35 V. In addition, this constructed catalyst only requires 1.76 V@500 mA cm −2 can stably perform for more than 240 h 500 HER PET hydrolysate. work proposes novel construct upcycling HER, which crucial multidisciplinary integration biology conversion
