Abstract FeSO$_{4}$ has the characteristics of low cost and theoretical high energy density (799 W$\cdot$h$\cdot$kg$^{-1}$ with a two-electron reaction), which can meet the demand for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Herein, FeSO$_{4}$ as a novel high-performance conversion-reaction type cathode is investigated. We use dopamine as a carbon coating source to increase its electronic conductivity. FeSO$_{4}$@C demonstrates a high reversible specific capacity (512 mA$\cdot$h$\cdot$g$^{-1}$) and a superior cycling performance (482 mA$\cdot$h$\cdot$g$^{-1}$ after 250 cycles). In addition, we further study its reaction mechanism. The FeSO$_{4}$ is converted to Fe and Li$_{2}$SO$_{4}$ during lithium ion insertion and the Fe|Li$_{2}$SO$_{4}$ grain boundaries further store additional lithium ions. Our findings are valuable in exploring other new conversion-type lithium ion battery cathodes.
