Abstract Ruthenium is considered one of the most promising alternatives to iridium as an anode electrocatalyst for proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, Ru‐based electrocatalysts suffer from poor stability, primarily due structural collapse under harsh acidic conditions oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, a design strategy introduced that significantly enhances both stability and activity RuO 2 by switching catalytic mechanism adsorbate (AEM) oxide pathway (OPM). This achieved through lattice distortion engineering using co‐doping involving large‐radius ions (Na⁺ Hf 4+ ). The incorporation Na + into induces significant distortion, shortening partial Ru─Ru bond distance optimizing electronic structure. modification facilitates direct O–O radical coupling, confirmed in situ vibrational measurements theoretical calculations.
