Highly efficient electrocatalysts are critical for high efficiency hydrogen production. Nevertheless, due to the scarcity and limited availability of the current commercial noble‐metal‐based electrode materials, the research direction has turned to seek alternative candidates by employing the earth‐abundant transition metals (TMs). This Minireview provides a comprehensive survey of recent advanced achievement in developing strategies for TMs‐based electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction under alkaline conditions.
