  • A series of Li2-xMn1-xGaxCl4 (x=0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5) materials were synthesized with the mechanochemical approach. As confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld refinements, Ga3+can be successfully incorporated into the octahedral sites that are partially occupied by Mn2+.The as-milled materials with relatively low crystallinity generally exhibit higher ionic conductivity than the well crystallized ones produced by annealing at 250 ℃. Among all the materials studied,the as-milled Li1.9Mn0.9Ga0.1Cl4shows the highest ionic conductivity (8.3×10-5 S·cm-1), which is two orders of magnitude higher than that of the as-milled Li2MnCl4(7.12×10-7 S·cm-1). While the unit cell volume does not vary significantly with the composition, the appropriate Li vacancy content should play an important role in the optimized ionic conductivity of Li1.9Mn0.9Ga0.1Cl4.
