LiFePO 4 composites with 5 at.% vanadium doping are prepared by solid state reactions. X‐ray absorption fine‐structure spectroscopy is used as a novel technique to identify vanadium sites. Both experimental analyses and theoretical simulations show that vanadium does not enter into the LiFePO 4 crystal lattice. When the vanadium concentration is lower then 1 at.%, the dopant remains insoluble. Thus, a single‐phase vanadium‐doped LiFePO 4 cannot be formed and the improved electrochemical properties of vanadium‐doped LiFePO 4 previously reported cannot be associated with crystal structure changes of the LiFePO 4 via vanadium doping.
