A general and facile strategy based on metal–ammine complex chemistry has been developed to synthesize a series of hollow transition‐metal oxides (TMOs)/nitrogen‐doped graphene (NG) hybrids, applied as anodic materials in high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries. The porosity of hollow TMOs coupling with porous NG frameworks produce shorter diffusion paths of Li + and electrolyte, smaller volume changes of electrodes and higher electron conductivity during long‐time charge/discharge process.
