Among the two‐dimensional (2D) materials, layered hydroxides (LHs) stand out due to their chemical versatility, allowing the modulation of physicochemical properties on demand. Specifically, LHs based on earth‐abundant elements are promising phases as electrode materials for energy storage. However, these materials exhibit significant drawbacks, such as low conductivity and in‐plane packing that limits electrolyte diffusion. Here, we explored the synthetic flexibility of α‐Co hydroxides to overcome these limitations. We elucidated the growth mechanism of 3D flower‐like α‐Co hydroxyhalides by using in‐situ SAXS experiments combined with thorough physicochemical, structural, and electrochemical characterization. Furthermore, we compared these findings with the most commonly employed Co‐based LHs: β‐Co(OH)2 and CoAl LDHs. While α‐Co LH phases inherently grow as 2D materials, ethanol triggers the formation of 3D‐arrangements of these layers, surpassing their 2D analogues in capacitive behavior. Additionally, by taking advantage of their anion‐dependent bandgap, we demonstrated that substituting halides from chloride to iodide enhances capacitive behavior by > 40%. This finding confirms the role of halides in modulating the electronic properties of LH, as supported by DFT+U calculations. Hence, this work provides fundamental insights into the 3D growth of α‐Co LH and the critical influence of morphology and halide substitution on their electrochemical performance.
