We report on the preparation and electrochemical characterization of Li2M(SO4)(2) (M=Co, Fe), where the Fe-based phase was previously unknown. Both compounds can be made at low temperatures (<320 degrees C) and the Fe-based phase displays an open circuit voltage of 3.83 V vs. Li+/Li-0 for the Fe3+/Fe2+ redox potential. This corresponds to the highest voltage ever obtained for the Fe3+/Fe2+ redox couple in an iron-based, fluorine-free compound and is only matched by the triplite phase of LiFeSO4F. While the theoretical capacity of 102 mA h g(-1) will likely limit the commercial prospects for this phase, knowledge of the structure will provide useful insight into the structural origin of these increased potentials.
