A unique flexible configuration with ordered porous rice ball‐like ZnCo 2 O 4 (ZCO) microspheres embedded in reduced graphene oxide (rGO) network was demonstrated by a facile solvothermal route and vacuum filtration method. As binder‐free anodes for LIBs, sandwiched structure ZCO/rGO electrode synergistically realized high lithium storage capability and good cycling stability due to enhanced conductive skeleton, robust mechanical stability and high hierarchical porosity. The ZCO/rGO hybrid depicts a reversible discharge capacity of 908.7 mAh g −1 after 500 long‐term cycles at a current density of 500 mA g −1 . In addition, the flexible electrode also shows the excellent rate capacity with an average capacity of 681.8 mAh g −1 even at a large current density of 6000 mA g −1 .
