LiZnVO4　particles　ware　synthesized　via　solid-state　reaction　route.　It　was　characterized　by　X-ray　diffraction　and　scanning　electron　microscopy.　As　anode　material　for　rechargeable　lithium-ion　battery,　the　electrochemical　performance　of　the　LiZnVO4　samples　was　measured.　It　was　found　that　a　large　capacity　of　330　mAh　g(-1)　can　be　retained　after　70　cycles.　The　electrochemical　measurements　indicate　that　the　anode　material　made　of　LiZnVO4　exhibits　excellent　cycling　stability　even　at　a　high　current　density.
