TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Process: The lithium metal phosphate is obtained by mixing lithium salt and phosphate salt with metal and its metal oxide, adding carbonaceous material to the obtained mixture, heat treating, and firing. The metal and metal oxide are subjected to mechanical milling to obtain metal oxide having an oxidation number of +2. The obtained metal oxide is used as starting material in manufacture of lithium metal phosphate. Preferred Compounds: The lithium salt is lithium chloride (LiCl), lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), lithium hydroxide (LiOH), lithium phosphate (Li3PO4) or lithium nitrate (LiNO3). The phosphate salt is ammonium dihydrogen phosphate ((NH4)H2PO4), diammonium hydrogen phosphate ((NH4)2HPO4), ammonium phosphate ((NH4)3PO4), phosphoric acid (H3PO4), phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5), tetraphosphorus decaoxide (P4O10), lithium phosphate (Li3PO4) or hydrated ferrous phosphate (FePO4.nH2O). Preferred Conditions: The mixture is heat-treated at 450-850degrees C under inert atmosphere. Preferred Property: The metal in metal oxide has an oxidation number of +3 or oxidation number of +3 and +2.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Compound: The carbonaceous material is carbon black, sucrose, pitch, cellulose acetate, organic acids, resin, or resorcinol formaldehyde. EXAMPLE - Ferrous oxide (in mole) (1) and iron powder (1) were mixed and crushed in ball mill to obtain mixture. The obtained mixture was mixed uniformly with lithium carbonate (2), diammonium hydrogen phosphate (4), and ketjen black, and fired in electric furnace at 750degrees C for 8 hours to obtain lithium ferrous phosphate/carbon composite having carbon content of 9 wt.%. The obtained lithium ferrous phosphate-carbon composite had excellent crystallinity as observed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Lithium ferrous phosphate-carbon composite (in wt.pts) (88), acetylene black (6) as conductive agent, polyvinylidene fluoride (6) as a binder, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) were added to form cathode slurry. The obtained cathode slurry was applied on aluminum collector and dried to obtain cathode. A coin-like half cell formed using the obtained cathode, lithium foil as anode, and 1 mole of lithium hexafluoro phosphate (LiPF6)/ethylene carbonate or ethyl methyl carbonate as electrolyte, was evaluated and found to have excellent quality, capacitance and durability.
