Effective hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under high current density and enhanced hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) over a wide potential range remain challenges for Ru‐based electrocatalysts because its strong affinity to the adsorbed hydroxyl (OHad) inhibits the supply of the adsorbed hydrogen (Had). Herein, the coexisting RuOTi and Ru–Ti bonds are constructed by taking TiO2 crystal confined flat‐Ru clusters (F‐Ru@TiO2) to cope with above‐mentioned obstacles. The different electronegativity (χTi = 1.54 < χRu = 2.20 < χO = 3.44) can endow Ti sites in RuOTi bonds with more positive charge and stabilize Ru atoms of RuTi bonds with the low‐valence. The strength of Ru‐OHad is then weakened by the oxophilicity of positively charged Ti atom in Ru–O–Ti bonds and the stronger Ti‐OHad bond could release active Ru sites, especially for low‐valence Ru in RuTi bonds, to serve as exclusive Had sites. As expected, F‐Ru@TiO2 shows a low HER overpotential of 74 mV at 1000 mA cm−2 and an ultrahigh mass activity of 3155 A gRu−1 for HOR. More importantly, F‐Ru@TiO2 can tolerate the HER current density of 1000 mA cm−2 for 100 h and the high anodic potential for HOR up to 0.5 V versus RHE.
