Abstract

The invention provides an electrochemical cell which includes a first electrode and a second electrode which is a counter electrode to said first electrode, and an electrolyte material interposed there between. The first electrode includes an active material having an alkali metal-containing oligo phosphate-based electrode active material.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A compound represented by the general nominal formula:
