Herein, a Si/reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/C microsphere composite is reported, wherein sucrose‐derived carbon binds Si nanoparticles (NPs) and rGO to act as a carbon anchor and links neighboring rGO sheets to reinforce the composite structure. In this structurally reinforced Si/rGO/C composite, the...
