The present invention provides a cathode active material for a lithium ion battery and a method of manufacturing the same. The cathode active material comprises a sintered product, which is formed by sintering lithium iron phosphate with one or more metal oxides. The metal oxide is an oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of elements of group IIA, IIIA, IVA, VA, IIIB, IVB and VB. Lithium ion batteries made from the cathode active materials of the lithium ion batteries provided herein have very improved capacities.n n n Cathode active materials, lithium iron phosphate, metal oxides, lithium ion batteries. |
