In order to evaluate the possibility of 3-dimensional architectures of rechargeable lithium ion batteries, 3D net architectures of Li4Ti5O12 nanofibers electrodes were prepared by an electrospinning method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and the discharge and charge measurements were used to characterize their structures and electrochemical properties. The inorganic framework of spinel Li4Ti5O12 was achieved at calcination temperature of 750 ℃. The high initial discharge capacity can be found to be 170 mAh·g^-1 for 3D Li4Ti5O12/Li cell, and better cycling performance under large currents could be obtained. SEM and XRD data indicate the 3-dimensional net architectures of spinel Li4Ti5O12 keep a constant when Li ions are inserted into spinel Li4Ti5O12. The result demonstrates that spinel Li4Ti5O12 could be selected as one of promising candidates for the realization of 3D batteries considering its structure stability of 3D spinel Li4Ti5O12 nanofibers associated with well cyclability.
