Insight into how catalyst–support interactions can be exploited to optimize the catalytic activity in aqueous electrochemistry, however, is still lacking. In this work, we show the rationally designed electrocatalyst/support interface can greatly impact the overall electrocatalytic activity of Ni–Fe layered double hydroxide (NiFeLDH) in water oxidation. In particular, the use of Co as a non-noble metal support greatly improves the activity of NiFeLDH 10-fold compared to the traditional electrocatalytic supports such as fluorine-/indium-doped tin oxide (FTO/ITO) and glassy carbon. We attribute the activity enhancement of NiFeLDH/Co to the in situ formation of a porous NiFeCoOxHy layer via Co incorporation, which dramatically promotes the redox chemistry of metal centers on the outer surface and enhances the electrical conductivity of the catalyst over 2 orders of magnitude. This new discovery highlights the importance of a rationally designed electrocatalyst/support interface and offers a new paradigm for designing and developing highly active electrocatalytic systems via marrying catalyst and support and creating synergy.23:T45d,The electrochemical conversion of CO₂ to valuable fuels is a plausible solution to meet the soaring need for renewable energy sources. However, the practical application of this process is limited by its poor selectivity due to scaling relations. Here we introduce the rational design of the monolayer hexagonal boron nitride/copper (h-BN/Cu) interface to circumvent scaling relations and improve the electrosynthesis of CH₄. This catalyst possesses a selectivity of >60% toward CH₄ with a production rate of 15 μmol·cm^-2·h^-1 at -1.00 V vs RHE, along with a much smaller decaying production rate than that of pristine Cu. Both experimental and theoretical calculations disclosed that h-BN/Cu interfacial perimeters provide specific chelating sites to immobilize the intermediates, which accelerates the conversion of *CO to *CHO. Our work reports a novel Cu catalyst engineering strategy and demonstrates the prospect of monolayer h-BN contributing to the design of heterostructured CO₂ reduction electrocatalysts for sustainable energy conversion.24:T5bc,
