Co 3 O 4 peration. Porous and polycrystalline Co 3 O 4 nanotubes have been derived from Co 4 (CO) 12 clusters on carbon nanotube templates. The prepared porous Co 3 O 4 nanotubes exhibit superior Li‐battery performance with good cycle life and high capacity (1200 mAh g –1 ) owing to their hollow structure and small size. Moreover, this approach can be extended to synthesize other porous metal oxide nanotubes.
