One-dimensional (1D) LiMn2O4 nanostructures with tunable morphologies have been successfully synthesized by a single-spinneret electrospinning method. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) images reveal that the morphologies of the obtained samples can be simply tailored by adjusting the calcination temperatures. As X-ray diffraction (XRD) results shown, Mn3O4 was firstly generated in the as-electrospun nanofibers at the temperature of 200 degrees C and 300 degrees C, and then the pure LiMn2O4 without any detectable impurities was produced at the temperature of 400 degrees C. Additionally, the 1D hollow LiMn2O4 nanostructures possess a higher specific surface area compared with the nanoparticle counterparts, which is originated from their rough surfaces as well as the unique hollow structures.
