▎ 摘  要

One-pot, graphene/LiFePO4 nanohybrids have been synthesized by a novel microwave-solvothermal (MW-ST) process. The microwave assisted process proceeds rapidly, enabling the decoration of LiFePO4 nanorods on graphene nanosheets (GNS) within 15 min at temperature <300 degrees C without requiring any inert atmosphere or post annealing at elevated temperatures in reducing gas atmosphere. The resulting nanohybrid is characterized by powder XRD, XPS, Raman spectroscopy and TEM measurements. The application potential of the nanohybrid as a cathode material for lithium ion batteries is also demonstrated, where the electrode material exhibits a discharge capacity of (similar to 164 mA h g(-1)) at C/10 rate, which is close to the theoretical capacity 170 mA h g(-1).
