Two by two : A low‐cost, fast, and green microwave‐assisted approach has been developed for the controlled synthesis of core–shell Cu 2 O@Cu/graphene hybrids. With the unique dual‐conducting system consisting of graphene support and Cu layer on the surface of the Cu 2 O nanoparticles, the as‐obtained hybrids exhibited significantly enhanced lithium ion battery performance as anode materials.
