3D hierarchical ZnCo 2 O 4 twin spheres are prepared by S. L. Xiong and co‐workers via a convenient polyol process and subsequent thermal annealing. A multistepsplitting‐in situ‐dissolution‐recrystallization originating from 1D nanorods is first proposed to understand the formation of the 3D nanoarchitectures. Lithium‐ion batteries prepared with the 3D materials display remarkable performance in energy storage.
