Abstract

We report the extraordinary lithium storage performance of porous LiMn2O4 hollow nanofibers synthesized by electrospinning technique. The electrospun LiMn2O4 hollow nanofibers retained 87% of initial reversible capacity after 1250 cycles at the 1 C rate. Further, excellent cycling profiles at 55 °C and cubic spinel to tetragonal phase transformation are also noted.
