Lithium-containing phosphates, methods of preparation, and uses thereof

摘要

The invention provides an electrochemical cell which comprises a first electrode and a second electrode which is a counter electrode to said first electrode. The first electrode comprises a phosphorous compound of the nominal general formula Li3E'aE''b(PO4)3, desirably at least one E is a metal; and preferably, Li3M'M''(PO4)3. E' and E'' are the same or different from one another, where at least one of E' and E'' has more than one oxidation state.
