1. A method of forming a metal phosphate coated cathode, comprising:
- dissolving either a metal salt or a phosphate salt in a nonaqueous solvent to form a first solution;
dissolving the other of the metal salt or the phosphate salt in a second solvent to form a second solution;
mixing the first solution and the second solution to form a precursor solution;
adding a cathode material to the precursor solution to form a cathode-precursor solution; and
drying the cathode-precursor solution to form the metal phosphate coated cathode.

Abstract
The invention features a method of forming a metal phosphate coated cathode. Either a metal salt or a phosphate salt is dissolved in a nonaqueous solvent to form a first solution. The other of the metal salt or the phosphate salt (e.g., whichever compound is not dissolved in the nonaqueous solvent) is dissolved in a second solvent to form a second solution. The first solution and the second solution are mixed to form a precursor solution. A cathode material is added to the precursor solution to form a cathode-precursor solution. The cathode-precursor solution is dried to form the metal phosphate coated cathode.
