Metal-free electrodes are essential to promote electrochemical reactions, the core of sustainable energy resources. In search of better carbon-based electrode materials, we have explored several spatial arrangements of boron (B) within proximity in the graphene lattice, as evident in recent experimental observations. Multi-boron substitution enriches sites by tuning electronic structure and strengthens binding of key intermediates of oxygen reduction, oxygen evolution, and hydrogen evolution reactions facilitating electrocatalytic performance. Our optimal B-doped site shows near thermo-neutral H adsorption (
