Li1-xLaxV3O8 cathode materials has been synthesized by pechini sol-gel method. The electrochemical performances of Li1-xLaxV3O8(x=0-0.05) have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), galvanostatic charge-discharge, and cyclic voltammetric (CV). The results showed that the optimal content of the La3+ doping in LiV3O8 was x=0.01, and the first discharge capacity of Li0.99La0.01V3O8 sample in the voltage range of 2.0-4.0V was 230mAhg-1, which was much higher than that of LiV3O8 (200mAhg-1). The Li0.99La0.01V3O8 cathode also showed higher discharge voltage plateau than LiV3O8 cathode from the CV curves.
