As alike as two peas in a pod : Hollow iron‐containing microspheres composed of nanoplate‐like building blocks were synthesized by a straightforward strategy and readily converted into magnetic Fe 3 O 4 hollow microspheres (see images) without noticeable structural deformation. These Fe 3 O 4 microspheres exhibited high reversible capacity and excellent cycling performance when evaluated as an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries.
