Summary: In this paper, different methods were employed to prepare lithium vanadium oxide (LVO) samples. It was found that the LVO samples obtained by sol-gel method had uniform nanoparticle morphology. The LVO/graphene (GN) composite synthesized by sol-gel method showed outstanding cycling performance and rate performance, attributed to the improved distribution of LVO by flexible GN and the formation of a highly conductive network.
