Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a composite powder comprising a core, comprising an apatite and a coating layer covering all or part of said core, which coating layer comprises particles in a metal element and/or in an oxide thereof, which method successively comprises the following steps: a) a step for putting a suspension of an apatite powder in a liquid medium in contact with a salt of a metal element, which is an acetate of a metal element; b) a step for evaporating the solvant making up the liquid medium; and c) a step for calcination of the powder resulting from step b) in an oxidizing atmosphere, by means of which a composite powder is obtained, comprising an apatite core and a coating layer comprising particles of metal oxide; and d) optionally a step for total or partial reduction of said oxide metal particles into metal particles. The use of this composite powder for forming an electrode material.
