Feeling the fiber: A composite material comprising Fe 3 O 4 particles anchored onto carbon nanofibers is formed through a simple, solvent‐free, two‐step process. The carbon fibers self‐organize in a helical manner during the pyrolysis process. Synergistic effects between the Fe 3 O 4 and the carbon support lead to a composite with high capacity, and good cycling stability and rate capability.
