Atomically dispersed and nitrogencoordinated single-metal sites in carbon (M–N–C) have emerged as the most promising platinum-group metal (PGM)-free candidates in the field of electrocatalysis. The unique electronic structure and unsaturated coordination environments of the active sites in M–N–C catalysts have been proven highly active and selective for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). [10–15] However, due to the simplicity and limitation of single-site centers, it is incompetent for addressing and regulating the trade-off between activity and stability toward the ORR. For example, highly active single-Fe-site catalysts often deactivate rapidly, especially at the initial stage. Previous reports have shown that active site demetallation, carbon corrosion, and H2O2 attack could be primarily responsible for mitigating catalyst stability. A catalyst containing two different single-metal sites could expose increased atomic sites and yield a synergistic effect,
