We report single‐crystalline mesoporous molybdenum nitride nanowires (meso‐ Mo 3 N 2 ‐ NW s) prepared by topotactic reaction using single‐crystalline molybdenum oxide nanowires. The single‐crystalline nature of meso‐ Mo 3 N 2 ‐ NW s was clearly observed by field‐emission transmission electron microscopy. The meso‐ Mo 3 N 2 ‐ NW s exhibited mesoporous structure with ∼45 m 2 /g in specific surface area and ∼4.6 nm in average pore size confirmed by a nitrogen sorption measurement. Due to high specific surface area and mesoporous structure, meso‐ Mo 3 N 2 ‐ NW s showed much higher specific capacitance and excellent charging–discharging performance as compared with Mo 3 N 2 prepared using conventional nitridation process.
