The invention relates to a method for preparing a ferric vanadate-graphene negative electrode composite material. The method comprises the following steps: dispersing sheet layers of graphene, forming ferric vanadate on the surface of graphene, growing and performing after-treatment on the ferric vanadate attached to the surface of graphene. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the sheet layers of graphene are dispersed, so that the ferric vanadate is uniformly attached to the surface of the graphene. Therefore, the ferric vanadate-graphene negative electrode composite material is uniform in texture and high in dispersity, the performance is greatly improved, and hydrogen peroxide is added into graphene turbid liquid, so that reaction is carried out on the surface of the uniformly dispersed graphene, functional groups are generated, a negative ion state is formed, ferrous iron ions are easily adsorbed, the reaction rate is accelerated, the adsorption rate is increased, and the ions react with vanadate on the graphene surface so as to form uniform particles. The ferric vanadate-graphene negative electrode composite material disclosed by the invention has low discharge voltage and extremely high discharge capacity, the raw materials are wide in source, and the cost is reduced.
