The invention belongs to energy materials, particularly relating to a method for preparing nanometer ferrous phosphate lithium /carbon composite material. In the invention, ferrous source, lithium source, phosphorus source are mixed with a small quantity of doped metal salt and organic macromolecular polymer carbon source according to certain ratio followed by the steps of ball milling, parching and calcining. High temperature sintering is carried out on the above mixture in the atmosphere of non-oxidation gas to obtain nanometer lithium iron phosphate LiMxFe(1-x)PO4/C coated with carbon and LiFe(1-x)NxPO4/C material, and the particle sizes of which are remarkably reduced and are less than 100nm. When the material is applied to battery assemble, 0.2C multiplying power discharge capacity can reach above 160mAh/g at room temperature, 1C multiplying power discharge capacity can be 140-155mAh/g, and 5C multiplying power discharge capacity is 130-150mAh/g. the initial capacity is 120-140mAh/g under the large multiplying power of 10C, and remains more than 90% through thousands of cycles, demonstrating good multiplying power and cycle properties. The invention features low cost, simple production process and fine safety. The prepared nanometer ferrous phosphate lithium /carbon composite material can be widely applied into manufacturing of convenient and fast equipment, electric vehicles and the like.
