LiFePO4/graphene-oxide (GNO) composites were prepared by co-precipitation method. Their structure and morphology were investigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. A low content of GNO can be uniformly dispersed in the matrix of LiFePO4 nano particles, while at a higher content, GNO will aggregate severely and has a negative effect on the electrochemical performance of LiFePO4. Further heat treatment can improve the crystallinity of LiFePO4, and improve the electrochemical performance of LiFePO4 with a relatively low content of GNO.
