Fabricating highly efficient electrocatalysts for electrochemical hydrogen generation is a top priority to relief the global energy crisis and environmental contamination. Herein, a rational synthetic strategy is developed for constructing well‐defined FeP−CoMoP hierarchical nanostructures (HNSs). In general terms, the self‐supported Co nanorods (NRs) are grown on conductive carbon cloth and directly serve as a self‐sacrificing template. After solvothermal treatment, Co NRs are converted into well‐ordered Co−Mo nanotubes (NTs). Subsequently, the small‐sized Fe oxyhydroxide nanorods arrays are hydrothermally grown on the surface of Co−Mo NTs to form Fe−Co−Mo HNSs, which are then converted into FeP−CoMoP HNSs through a facile phosphorization treatment. FeP−CoMoP HNSs display high activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with an ultralow cathodic overpotential of 33 mV at 10 mA cm−2and a Tafel slope of 51 mV dec−1. Moreover, FeP−CoMoP HNSs also possess an excellent electrochemical durability in alkaline media. First‐principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the remarkable HER activitiy of FeP−CoMoP HNSs originates from the synergistic effect between FeP and CoMoP.
