Due to the high capacity, moderate voltage platform, and stable structure, Li3VO4 (LVO) has attracted close attention as feasible anode material for lithium-ion capacitor. However, the intrinsic low electronic conductivity and sluggish kinetics of the Li+ insertion process severely impede its practical application in lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). Herein, a carbon-coated Li3VO4 (LVO/C) hierarchical structure was prepared by a facial one-step solid-state method. The synthesized LVO/C composite delivers an impressive capacity of 435 mAh/g at 0.07 A/g, remarkable rate capability, and nearly 100% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 0.5 A/g. The superior electrochemical properties of LVO/C composite materials are attributed to the improved conductivity of electron and stable carbon/LVO composite structures. Besides, the LIC device based on activated carbon (AC) cathode and optimal LVO/C as anode reveals a maximum energy density of 110 Wh/kg and long-term cycle life. These results provide a potential way for assembling the advanced hybrid lithium-ion capacitors.
