Lithium vanadium phosphate battery


A lithium vanadium phosphate battery is a proposed type of lithium ion battery that uses a vanadium phosphate in the cathode. they have not been commercialized.

Research

Vanadium Phosphates have been investigated as potential cathodes for Li-ion batteries: including lithium vanadium phosphate, Li3V23; the same material prepared by sol gel methods showed lithium insertion/removal over a 3.5 to 4.1 V range, with evidence of three stages of insertion/removal.
ɛ-VOPO4 has been studied as a cathode material and has a two stage lithium insertion/removal process. Nanostructured ɛ-VOPO4 has been studied as a potential redox material.
