A generic, facile, and rapid low‐temperature, one‐pot synthesis method is used to grow highly crystalline LiMn 2 O 4 nanoparticles in situ within a homogeneously dispersed conductive percolation network of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The resulting LiMn 2 O 4 /MWCNT nanocomposite displays an unprecedented high rate capability (high power density) when used as cathode for lithium ion batteries.
