Li 2Co2(MoO4)3 was synthesized by a soft-combustion glycine-nitrate low temperature protocol. Test cells were assembled using composite Li2Co2(MoO4) 3 as the negative electrode material and a thin lithium foil as the positive electrode material separated by a microporous polypropylene (Celgard{\^A}(R) membrane) soaked in aprotic organic electrolyte (1 M LiPF 6 in EC/DMC). Electrochemical discharge down to 0.001 V from OCV (3.5 V) revealed that about 35 Li+ could possibly be inserted into Li2Co2(MoO4)3 during the first discharge (reduction) corresponding to a specific capacity amounting to 1,500 mAh g-1. This is roughly fourfold higher compared to that of frequently used graphite electrodes. However, about 24 Li+ could be extracted during the first charge. It is interesting to note that the same amount of Li+ could be inserted during the second Li+ insertion process (second cycle discharge) giving rise to a second discharge capacity of 1,070 mAh g-1. It was also observed that a major portion of lithium intake occurs below 1.0 V vs Li/Li+, which is typical of anodes being used in lithium-ion batteries. {\^A}{\copyright} 2007 Springer-Verlag.}, keywords = {Combustion; Electric discharges; Lithium batteries; Microporous materials; Negative ions; Nitrates; Polypropylenes, Anode materials; Lithium cobalt molybdate; Lithium-ion battery; NASICON structure, Anodes}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-44249114113&doi=10.1007\%2fs10008-007-0456-4&partnerID=40&md5=b68587323b0aeeab2d8b8856e287e74f}, issn = {14328488}, author = {Michael, M.
