Transition metal oxides with high theoretical capacities are promising anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). However, the sluggish reaction kinetics remain a bottleneck for fast‐charging applications due to its slow Li+ migration rate. Herein, a strategy is reported of significantly reducing the Li+ diffusion barrier of amorphous vanadium oxide by constructing a specific ratio of the VO local polyhedron configuration in amorphous nanosheets. The optimized amorphous vanadium oxide nanosheets with a ratio ≈1:4 for octahedron sites (Oh) to pyramidal sites (C4v) revealed by Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) demonstrate the highest rate capability (356.7 mA h g−1 at 10.0 A g−1) and long‐term cycling life (455.6 mA h g−1 at 2.0 A g−1 over 1200 cycles). Density functional theory (DFT)calculations further verify that the local structure (Oh:C4v = 1:4) intrinsically changes the degree of orbital hybridization between V and O atoms and contributes to a higher intensity of electron occupied states near the Fermi level, thus resulting in a low Li+ diffusion barrier for favorable Li+ transport kinetics. Moreover, the amorphous vanadium oxide nanosheets possess a reversible VO vibration mode and volume expansion rate close to 0.3%, as determined through in situ Raman and in situ transmission electron microscopy.
