Abstract: This method achieves lithium cobalt pyrophosphate in which the generation of different phases is suppressed. A powder of a lithium compound, a cobalt compound and a phosphorus compound in amounts based on the composition of lithium cobalt pyrophosphate is mixed while adding water at a prescribed temperature (T1), for example, room temperature, and the substance obtained thereby is further mixed at a higher temperature (T2), for example, 40° C.-60° C. In this way, a precursor of lithium cobalt pyrophosphate is formed that has excellent uniformity of distribution of the lithium component, the cobalt component and the phosphorus component. By firing such a precursor, a lithium cobalt pyrophosphate is obtained in which the generation of different phases is suppressed.
