Abstract Modulating the surface and spatial structure of host is associated with reactivity active site, also enhances mass transfer effect CO 2 electroreduction process (CO RR). Herein, we describe development two‐step ligand etch–pyrolysis to access an asymmetric dual‐atomic‐site catalyst (DASC) composed a yolk–shell carbon framework (Zn 1 Mn ‐SNC) derived from S,N‐coordinated Zn−Mn dimers anchored on metal–organic (MOF). In Zn ‐SNC, electronic effects S/N−Zn−Mn−S/N configuration are tailored by strong interactions between dual sites co‐coordination S/N atoms, rendering structural stability atomic distribution. H‐cell, ‐SNC DASC shows low onset overpotential 50 mV high Faraday efficiency 97 % applied 343 mV, thus outperforming counterparts, in flow cell, it reaches current density 500 mA cm −2 at −0.85 V, benefitting accessibility sites. DFT simulations showed that diatomic site optimal adsorption strength COOH* lowers reaction energy barrier, boosting intrinsic RR activity DASC. The structure‐property correlation found this study suggests new ideas for highly accessible catalysts.
