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.
