Monodispersed single‐crystalline LiMnPO 4 nanobelts and nanorods were successfully prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. On the basis of the experimental results, a possible mechanism for the formation of the monodispersed LiMnPO 4 nanobelts and nanorods was proposed. Compared with our previously proposed flowerlike, stamenlike LiMnPO 4 /C nanostructures self‐assembled with (010) nanosheets and [001] nanorods, the corresponding monodispersed nanoparticles show enhanced electrochemical performances due to the full carbon coating along the surface. Moreover, because of the narrowed size along [100], the LiMnPO 4 @C nanorods exhibit a much higher discharge capacity compared with that of the LiMnPO 4 @C nanobelts.
