This paper reports on the synthesis, characterization and electrochemical performance of LiV 3 O 8 nanorods which were prepared through a very facile hydrothermal route. The diameters of the LiV 3 O 8 nanorods are about 150 nm. The morphology of LiV 3 O 8 can be controlled by adjusting the reaction conditions such as the reaction time and temperature. Electrochemical measurements reveal that the as‐prepared LiV 3 O 8 nanorods display high initial discharge capacities (292.5 mA·hg −1 ) and excellent cyclability. This result indicates that the nanorods are a promising cathode candidate material for lithium batteries.
