A facile strategy has been developed to construct unique core–shell-structured Li_2.7V_2.1(PO₄)₃ nanocomposites with a Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ core and LiVOPO₄ shell by using nonstoichiometric design and high-energy ball milling (HEBM) treatment. The HEBM treatment supplies enough energy to drive the excess V atoms to the surface to form a V-enriched shell. Such kind of cathode can deliver a high reversible capacity of 131.5 mAhg^$$-$$1 at 0.5 C, which is close to the theoretical capacity (133 mAhg^$$-$$1 in 3.0–4.3 V). Even at 20 C, it still delivers an excellent discharge capacity of 116.3 mAhg^$$-$$1, and a remarkable capacity of 111.0 mAhg^$$-$$1 after 1000 cycles, corresponding to an ultra-small capacity-loss of 0.0046% per cycle. Finally, the significantly improved high-rate electrochemical performance can be attributed to the active shell of LiVOPO₄, which not only efficiently facilitates the electron and Li⁺ ion transport during cycling processes, but also accommodates more Li+ ions to effectively compensate the capacity loss of the core.
