Abstract:
A method for providing a cathode electrode, comprising the steps of:a) providing &ggr;-phase silver vanadium oxide having the formula Ag1.2V3O8.1; b) mixing the &ggr;-phase silver vanadium oxide with a metal salt to form a reaction mixture; c) heating the reaction mixture to at least one reaction temperature in an oxidizing atmosphere to produce an electrode active material selected from the group consisting of Ag2V4O11, Cu0.2Ag0.8V2O5.6, Mn0.2Ag0.8V2O5.8 and Mg0.2Ag0.8V2O5.6; and d) utilizing the product electrode active material in a cathode electrode.
