We present the synthesis and characterization of a novel lithium iron polyphosphate LiFe2P3O10 prepared by wet-chemical technique from nitrate precursors. The crystal system is shown to be monoclinic (P21/m space group) and the refined cell parameters are a=4.596 Å, b=8.566 Å, c=9.051 Å and β=97.46°. LiFe2P3O10 has a weak antiferromagnetic ordering below the Néel temperature TN =19 K. Electrochemical measurements carried out at 25 °C in lithium cell with LiPF6-EC-DEC electrolyte show a capacity 70 mAh/g in the voltage range 2.7-3.9 V.
