Abstract Single‐atom catalysts demonstrate theoretically superior oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics, the limited dynamic adaptability, however, poses a giant challenge to meet the multi‐step proton‐coupled electron transfer (PCET). Herein, we propose a “ Dynamic Spin Engineering ” strategy for the rational design of tri‐metallic single‐atom catalysts (FeZnTM‐TACs) featuring asymmetric coordination fields (FeN 4 ZnN 3 TMN 4 ). Leveraging electron synergy and spatial functional decoupling among heterometallic sites, the optimized FeZnMn‐TACs exhibit exceptional ORR performance ( E 1/2 = 0.93 V versus RHE) and ultra‐long stability (Δ E 1/2 = 24 mV after 90,000 cycles). Through operando X‐ray absorption fine structure and spin‐polarized density functional theory, we unveil the scalability of a ternary synergy encompassing dynamic reconstruction, charge compensation and spin‐state transition, clarifying the roles of electron donors at the ZnN 3 sites and proton supply at MnN 4 sites. Dynamic FeN x C y evolution triggers a spin‐state transition from medium spin (MS = 1.5) to low spin (LS = 1.0), accompanied by the d xz / d yz orbital occupancy degree from 50% to 100%. As a consequence, we synergize the dual optimization of *OOH formation and *OH desorption in PCET. Moreover, our work atomically deciphers the spin redistribution mechanism driven by dynamic reconstruction, establishing a new paradigm for designing self‐adaptive electrocatalysts that ultimately unify ultrahigh activity with operational stability.
