A three-dimensional lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/graphene composite was successfully synthesized via solid-state reaction. The LiFePO4/carbon nanotubes/graphene (LFP–CNT–G) composite used as Li-ions battery cathode material exhibits superior high-rate capability and favorable charge–discharge cycle performance under relative high current density compared with that of LiFePO4/carbon nanotubes (LFP–CNT) composite and LiFePO4/graphene (LFP–G) composite. Graphene nanosheets and CNTs construct 3D conducting networks are favor for faster electron transfer, higher Li-ions diffusion coefficient and lower resistance during the Li-ions reversible reaction. The synergistic effect of graphene nanosheets and CNTs improves the rate capability and cycling stability of LiFePO4-based cathodes. The LFP–CNT–G electrode shows reversible capacity of 168.9 mA h g−1at 0.2 C and 115.8 mA h g−1at 20 C. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrate that the LFP–CNT–G electrode has the smallest charge-transfer resistance, indicating that the fast electron transfer from the electrolyte to the LFP–CNT–G active materials in the Li-ions intercalation/deintercalation reactions owing to the three-dimensional networks of graphene and carbon nanotubes.
