Abstract Rational design and construction of bifunctional electrocatalysts with excellent activity durability is imperative for water splitting. Herein, a novel top‐down strategy to realize hierarchical branched Mo‐doped sulfide/phosphide heterostructure (Mo‐Ni 3 S 2 /Ni x P y hollow nanorods), by partially phosphating Mo‐Ni /NF flower clusters, proposed. Benefitting from the optimized electronic structure configuration, nanorod structure, abundant heterogeneous interfaces, as‐obtained multisite electrode has remarkable stability electrocatalytic in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)/oxygen (OER) 1 m KOH solutions. It possesses an extremely low overpotential 238 mV at current density 50 mA cm −2 OER. Importantly, when assembled as anode cathode simultaneously, it merely requires ultralow cell voltage 1.46 V achieve 10 , over 72 h, outperforming most reported Ni‐based materials. Density functional theory results further confirm that doped can synergistically optimize Gibbs free energies H O‐containing intermediates (OH*, O*, OOH*) during HER OER processes, thus accelerating catalytic kinetics electrochemical This work demonstrates importance rational combination metal doping interface engineering advanced
