A　new　composite　of　Zn2GeO4　@multi-walled　carbon　nanotubes　(Zn2GeO4　@MWCNTs)　has　been　synthesized　by　using　a　facial　microwave　assisted　hydrothermal　method,　and　found　that　the　Zn2GeO4　nanorods　were　anchored　on　the　surface　of　MWCNTs　and　embedded　into　the　voids　of　MWCNTs　aggregation,　which　could　provide　a　conductive　network　for　fast　transport　of　ion　and　a　buffer　space　for　volumetric　change　during　the　charge-discharge　process.　The　MWCNTs　in　the　composite　has　also　acted　as　conductive　agent,　avoiding　the　use　of　additional　conductive　agents.　When　used　as　an　anode　for　LIBs,　this　composite　delivered　a　high　specific　capacity　of　1397.9　mA　h　g-1　at　0.2　A　g-1　after　300　cycles,　an　excellent　rate　capability　and　long　cycling　stability　over1800　cycles　at　a　high　rate　of　1.0　A　g-1.　The　results　of　in　situ　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD)　measurements　showed　that　the　Li22Ge5　was　formed　during　the　discharge　process,　and　others　were　amorphous　phase,　which　can　provide　more　active　sites　for　lithium　storage,　and　is　beneficial　to　the　fast　diffusion　of　lithium　ion,　resulting　in　superb　cycling　performance.
