Synthesis of plate-like Li3V2(PO4)3/C as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries

- Plate-like Li3V2(PO4)3/C composite is successfully synthesized.
- The Li3V2(PO4)3 plates were well carbon coated about 5.3 nm in thickness.
- A discharge capacity of 125.2 mAh g−1 can be obtained at 3 C between 3.0 and 4.3 V.
- In the voltage range of 3.0-4.8 V, 133.1 mAh g−1 is presented.
