A　series　of　highly　disperse　hollow　and　solid　SiO2　containing　nanocomposite　fibers　with　lengths　on　the　centimetre　scale　was　successfully　constructed　through　a　templating　technique　combined　with　a　solvothermal　process.　The　hydrated　metal　salt　not　only　acted　as　the　precursor　of　the　secondary　functional　component　but　also　resulted　in　an　intriguing　influence　on　the　morphology　of　the　final　composite　fibers.　We　can　obtain　hollow　or　solid　composite　fibers　by　altering　the　precursor　compositions,　without　changing　the　template.　The　as-synthesized　nanocomposite　fibers　possessed　a　large　amount　of　mesopores,　facilitating　molecular　transport　through　the　interior　space.　In　addition,　the　macroscopic　products　are　in　the　form　of　textile　with　certain　strength　and　flexibility,　allowing　easy　handling　in　applications.　The　selected　property　characterization　demonstrated　the　potential　applications　of　these　functional　composites.
