By providing dual active sites to synergistically accelerate the H2O dissociation and H+ reduction, ordered intermetallic alloys usually show extraordinary performance for pH‐universal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, activated N‐doped mesoporous carbon spheres‐supported intermetallic Pt3Fe alloys (Pt3Fe/NMCS‐A) as a highly‐efficient electrocatalyst for pH‐universal HER is reported. The Pt3Fe/NMCS‐A exhibits low overpotential (η10) of 13, 29, and 48 mV to deliver 10 mA cm−2 in 0.5 M H2SO4, 1.0 M KOH, and 1.0 M phosphate buffered solution (PBS), respectively, as well as robust stability to maintain the overall catalytic performances. Theoretical studies reveal that the strong Pt 5d−Fe 3d orbital electronic interactions negatively shift the d‐band center of Pt 5d orbital, resulting in reduced H* adsorption energy of Pt sites and enhanced acidic HER activity. With Pt and Fe acting as co‐adsorption sites for H* and *OH intermediates, respectively, a low energy barrier is required for Pt3Fe/NMCS‐A to dissociate the H2O to afford H* intermediates, which greatly promotes the H* intermediates adsorption and H2 formation in alkaline and neutral conditions. The synthetic strategy is further extended to the synthesis of Pt3Co and Pt3Ni alloys with excellent HER activity in pH‐universal electrolytes, demonstrating the great potential of these Pt‐based alloys for practical applications.This article is protected by copyright.
