The synthesis and electrochemical lithium‐ion storage behavior of hierarchical MoO 2 /MoS 2 /heteroatom‐doped carbon (MoO 2 /MoS 2 /HD‐C) ternary hybrid have been studied. This ternary hybrid is composed of ultrafine MoO 2 nanowires and single/few‐layer MoS 2 encapsulated by heteroatom‐doped carbon, constituting secondary cauliflower‐like microspheres. The synthesis is achieved through the synergistic interplay of a polymer and an ionic liquid as structure‐directing agents and carbon sources, using a solvothermal reaction followed by a simple thermal treatment. In this unique architecture, each component synergistically acts with a specific purpose. The HD‐C matrix with abundant defects and vacancies provides fast electronic conduction as well as interfacial storage, and buffers the volume changes during charging/discharging processes. The ultrasmall dimensions of both MoO 2 nanowires and single/few‐layered MoS 2 components enable rapid Li + transport in all directions, which is of great benefit to the reversibility of “conversion” reactions. The hierarchical secondary structures assure the robust stability upon long‐term cycling. The ternary hybrid material exhibits enhanced Li + ‐storage performance as well as reversible capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability. A high reversible specific capacity of 1147 mA h g −1 is delivered at 50 mA g −1 together with excellent cycling stability, and 841 mA h g −1 can be retained after 1000 cycles at 500 mA g −1 .
