A lithium vanadium phosphate (LVP) battery is a proposed type of lithium-ion battery that uses a vanadium phosphate in the cathode. As of 2016 they have not been commercialized.
Vanadium phosphates have been investigated as potential cathodes for Li-ion batteries: including lithium vanadium phosphate, Li 3 V 2 (PO 4) 3; 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.
In 2002, Hunag et al. first synthesized lithium vanadium phosphate cathode material using sol–gel method [ 22 ]. Stoichiometric ratios of V 2 O 5 gel, CH 3 COOLi, and NH 4 H 2 PO 4 were mixed directly with carbon gel, presintered for 5 h at 350 °C and then calcined at 700 °C for 5 h in a N 2 atmosphere.
The lithium iron phosphate cathode battery is similar to the lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (LiNiCoAlO 2) battery; however it is safer. LFO stands for Lithium Iron Phosphate is widely used in automotive and other areas .
In addition to the traditional method of modification of the LVP, some researchers have studied regarding LVP as anode and symmetric cells or all solid-state symmetric cells [ 169 – 171 ]. Lithium vanadium phosphate will provide a new research idea in the future.
