The dynamic characteristics and cycle stability of Mg/Li ion battery (MLIBs) cathodes are keys to develop the electric vehicles. This work proposes a strategy to construct one-dimensional (1D) porous nanomaterials, aiming to ameliorate the overall electrochemical properties of MLIBs. SnO 2 cathodes with nano-fiber (NF-SnO 2 ), nano-single tubular (NST-SnO 2 ) and nano-multitubular (NMT-SnO 2 ) structures were prepared by electrospinning technic, and the modification mechanism of SnO 2 cathodes was discussed. NST-SnO 2 and NMT-SnO 2 cathodes show excellent cycle and capacity properties than that of NF-SnO 2 cathode. The NST-SnO 2 and NMT-SnO 2 cathodes show discharge capacities of 138.2 and 286.4 mAh g À1 at 500 mA g À1 in the first cycle, the capacities after 50 cycles are 156.7 (113.38%) and 206.2 mAh g À1 (71.99%), which are higher than that of NF-SnO 2 cathode 46.7 mAh g À1 (31.32%). The 69.09 and 118.01 mAh g À1 of NST-SnO 2 and NMT-SnO 2 are discharged at 2000 mA g À1 . The electrochemical mechanism of modified nano-SnO 2 cathodes in MLIBs is also elaborated. The porosity nanomaterials provide a guarantee for high-performance MLIBs and pave way for the construction of advanced SnO 2 cathodes for MLIBs.
