A graphene nanosheet and carbon nanotube co-modified Li3V2(PO4)(3)/C composite has been first prepared via a hydrothermal-assisted sol-gel method. The crystal structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of the as-prepared sample are studied in detail. In this material, the Li3V2(PO4)(3)/C (100-150 nm) nanoparticles are strongly adhered to the surface of the graphene nanosheets while the carbon nanotubes are embedded into the Li3V2(PO4)(3)/C and graphene nanosheets, and both carbon additives have interlaced to form a crosslinked three-dimensional (3D) mixed conducting network. Thus, the composite exhibits a remarkably high rate capability and long cycle stability, delivering an initial discharge capacity of 147.5 mA h g(-1) at 20C within a voltage range of 3.0-4.8 V and the capacity retention is 82.7% after 2000 cycles. With a desirable cell performance, this approach offers a new idea in design and preparation of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
