Developing low‐cost and high‐activity pH‐universal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts is very crucial to the industrialization of water electrolysis. However, the high price, low yield, and poor stability of current HER catalysts make them difficult to meet practical requirements. Herein, a...
