The practical applications of Mn3O4in lithium‐ion batteries are greatly hindered by fast capacity decay and poor rate performance as a result of significant volume changes and low electrical conductivity. It is believed that the synthesis of nanoscale Mn3O4combined with carbonaceous matrix will lead to a better electrochemical performance. Herein, a convenient route for the synthesis of Mn3O4nanoparticles grown in situ on hollow carbon nanofiber (denoted as HCF/Mn3O4) is reported. The small size of Mn3O4particles combined with HCF can significantly alleviate volume changes and electrical conductivity; the strong chemical interactions between HCF and Mn3O4would improve the reversibility of the conversion reaction for MnO into Mn3O4and accelerate charge transfer. These features endow the HCF/Mn3O4composite with superior cycling stability and rate performance if used as the anode for lithium‐ion batteries. The composite delivers a high discharge capacity of 835 mA h g−1after 100 cycles at 200 mA g−1, and 652 mA h g−1after 240 cycles at 1000 mA g−1. Even at 2000 mA g−1, it still shows a high capacity of 528 mA h g−1. The facile synthetic method and outstanding electrochemical performance of the as‐prepared HCF/Mn3O4composite make it a promising candidate for a potential anode material for lithium‐ion batteries.
