Interwoven　ZnMn2O4　nanofibers　with　porous　nanostructures　were　successfully　prepared　by　an　electrospinning　technique.　The　scanning　electron　microscopy　(SEM)　results　reveal　that　the　obtained　ZnMn2O4　nanofibers　are　153　nm　in　diameter　and　several　micrometers　in　length.　The　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD)　analysis　shows　that　the　nanofibers　possess　highly　crystalline　structure　without　any　impurity　phase.　When　evaluated　as　an　electrode　material　for　Li-ion　batteries　(LIBs),　results　of　the　electrochemical　test　show　that　these　unique　interwoven　ZnMn2O4　nanofibers　exhibit　admirable　lithium　storage　performances　with　high　specific　capacity　and　excellent　rate　capability.　The　interwoven　and　continuous　one　dimensional　(1D)　nanostructure　of　ZnMn2O4　nanofibers　makes　a　prominent　contribution　to　the　excellent　electrochemical　performance.　(C)　2014　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
