Conductive　porous　carbons　generally　are　used　as　the　additives　to　contact　with　active　materials　to　generate　conductive　network　for　electrodes　of　commercial　lithium　ion　batteries　(LIBs).　As　a　cathode　material,　LiFePO4　(LFP)　has　been　widely　used　for　LIBs.　However,　it　needs　higher　quantity　of　conductive　carbons　to　enhance　its　electrochemical　performances　due　to　the　low　ion　diffusion　coefficient　and　low　electronic　conductivity.　In　this　work,　we　synthesize　the　mesoporous　carbon　contained　graphite-zinc　quantum　dots　(MC-GZQDs)　via　the　carbonization　of　zeolitic　imidazolate　frameworks-8　(ZIF-8)　under　anaerobic　condition.　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD)　test　proves　that　the　MC-GZQDs　sample　is　a　kind　of　graphite-type　carbon.　The　N-2　adsorption　and　desorption　analysis　reveals　the　hierarchical　pore　structure　and　typical　ordered　mesoporous　characteristic.　High-resolution　transmission　electron　microscopy　(HRTEM)　indicates　that　the　sample　possesses　QDs　and　it　has　heterogeneous　core　(metal　Zn)-shell　(graphite)　structure.　As　an　additive,　MC-GZQDs　can　improve　both　electronic　conductivity　and　ion　diffusion　coefficient　of　LFP　due　to　its　high　conductivity　and　porous　structure.　LFP　mixing　with　MC-GZQDs　delivers　a　high　rate　performance　of　154.6mAhg(-1)　at　a　current　rate　of　0.5C　and　a　capacity　retention　ratio　of　approximate　99.9%　after　60cycles　at　10.0C.
