However, the poor electronic conductivity and initial low coulombic efficiency limit its practical application. In this mini-review, the state-of-the-art results associated with Li3VO4 are summarized including structure, lithium insertion mechanism, preparation, modification, and electrochemical properties. Finally, the challenges and prospects are also discussed.展开更多
