Lithium vanadium phosphate battery

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^[update] they have not been commercialized.

Research

Vanadium phosphates have been investigated as potential cathodes for Li-ion batteries: including lithium vanadium phosphate, Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃;^[1][2] 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.^[3]

ɛ-VOPO₄ has been studied as a cathode material and has a two stage lithium insertion/removal process.^[4] Nanostructured ɛ-VOPO₄ has been studied as a potential redox material.^[5]
