This review describes some recent developments in the composite doped cathode materials such as LiCoO2, LiNiO2, LiMn2O4, and LiMnO2 with focus on LiFePO4. Olivine LiFePO4 have attracted considerable attention since last decade because of its promising properties as a cathode material in Li ion based batteries (LIBs), that is, it offers high theoretical capacity, environmental friendliness, and less toxicity. The electrochemical and structural characterization of this system will be discussed in more detail as compared with its other counterpart.
