Here, we provide a new scientific insight in the field of lithium-ion batteries, in which BiPO4 is initially reported as a cathode material based on conversion reaction. BiPO4 exists in three polymorphic phases, which have been synthesized using a room-temperature liquid precipitation route followed by heating treatment. The effects of phase transformation on electrochemical performances of BiPO4 have been investigated. Herein the hexagonal BiPO4 exhibits the best reversibility, rate capability and cycling stability. A conversion reaction has also been proved to occur in BiPO4 with reduction of BiPO4 into a metallic Bi-0 phase and a Li3PO4 phase upon lithiation, and the reformation of BiPO4 phase during next charge process. Its theoretical specific capacity and theoretical output voltage are 264.5 mA h g(-1) and similar to 3.14 V, respectively. Especially, its theoretical volumetric energy density is as high as 5253.1 Wh L-1, close to twice higher than LiCoO2. Therefore, it is still worthy of further study for lithium-ion batteries.
