A multiple catalyst structure‐engineering strategy , which simultaneously includes doping, nanostructuring, and in situ nanocarbon coating, was employed to significantly facilitate the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of cobalt phosphide (CoP). CoP with optimized ruthenium atom doping and covered by ultrathin graphitic carbon shells, displayed remarkably high HER catalytic activity along with excellent durability.
