Compositional and Structural Variations in the System Li-Al-Si

The Tetragonal Compound LigAISis, a Good Anodic Material 

The Intermetallic Li-Zn-Ce System, from Electron-poor to Electron-rich Phases 

The phase diagram of the pseudo-binary Li-(Zn,Ge) was published more than twenty years ago [63]. It reports the existence of two intermetallic compounds  

Lii ogZno.92Ge that decomposes peritectically at 620 °G, and Li2ZnGe that crystallizes in two polymorphic forms cubic above 502 °G and trigonal below, and melts congruendy at 785 °C. This paper also refers to the Li-rich UfZnGe, so-called -phase, melting peritectically at 497 °C [56]. 

The system lithium-zinc-germanium was investigated again to afford additional compositional and structural information useful to the exploitation and rationalization of the electrochemical results and to the design of new syntheses.
