METHOD FOR PRODUCING IRON LITHIUM PHOSPHATE

A method for producing lithium iron phosphate includes: an aqueous solution preparing step of preparing an aqueous solution containing a phosphoric acid and a carboxylic acid; a first forming step of adding iron particles containing 0.5 mass% or more of oxygen to the aqueous solution, and making the phosphoric acid and the carboxylic acid and the iron particles react with each other in the aqueous solution under an oxidizing atmosphere, to form a first reaction liquid is formed by; the second forming step of adding a lithium source to the first reaction liquid obtained in the synthesizing step to form a second reaction liquid; the precursor forming step of drying the second reaction liquid to form a lithium iron phosphate precursor; and the primary baking step of baking the lithium iron phosphate precursor under a non-oxidizing atmosphere thus obtaining lithium iron phosphate.
