Diatomic catalysts are promising for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) due to their maximum atom utilization and presence of multiple active sites. However, atomic-scale design diatomic elucidation synergistic catalytic mechanisms between centers remain challenging. In this study, heteronuclear Fe─In sites anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon (FeIn DA/NC) constructed. The FeIn DA/NC electrocatalyst achieves a CO Faradaic efficiency exceeding 90% across wide range applied potentials from -0.4 -0.7 V, with peak 99.1% at -0.5 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. situ, attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy density functional theory calculations reveal that interaction Fe induce an asymmetric charge distribution, which promote adsorption site lowered energy barrier formation *COOH. Moreover, unique structure increase *OH through bridging interaction, decrease water dissociation further promoted CO2RR activity.

Under guidance theoretical calculations, synthesize range PtRuPdCoNi nanoparticles with adjustable sizes (1.7, 2.3, 3.0, 3.9 nm) using one‐step spatially confined approach, without any further treatment. Experimentally, smaller HEAs is more favorable HER ORR performances, aligning predictions. Specifically, sized at 1.7 nm (HEA‐1.7) endows 16 mV overpotential current density 10 mA cm −2 , yielding mass activity 31.9 A mg NM −1 noble metal HER, significantly outperforming commercial Pt/C catalyst. This strategy can be easily applicable to other reactions (e.g. ) attributed richness components adjustability, presenting promising platform various advanced catalysts.
