Abstract

Porous LiNb₃O₈ nanofibers have been successfully prepared through a simple electrospinning route followed by a post-treatment process. The obtained porous LiNb₃O₈ nanofibers are composed of polycrystalline LiNb₃O₈ nanoparticles and numerous nanosized pores. The resulting LiNb₃O₈ nanofibers exhibit improved capacity and cyclability in virtue of the high surface area, small nanocrystals, and porous structure. In situ XRD studies were carried out to elucidate the Li-storage mechanism for the LiNb₃O₈ electrodes.
