The spinel systems Li/sub 2//sub -//sub 2/ /sub x/ C1/sub 4/(M = Mg, Mn, Cd) with 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.33 has been studied by means of impedance measurement, differential thermal analysis, and x-ray diffraction analysis. The ionic conductivity increases and the activation energy for conduction decreases with increasing x within the solid solution range, 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.2 in Li/sub 2//sub -//sub 2/ /sub x/ Mg/sub 1//sub +/ /sub x/ C1/sub 4/, 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.24 in Li/sub 2//sub -//sub 2/ /sub x/ Mn/sub 1//sub +/ /sub x/ C1/sub 4/, and 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.05 in Li/sub 2//sub -//sub 2/ /sub x/ Cd/sub 1//sub +/ /sub x/ C1/sub 4/. The highest conductivity is found to be 1.5 x 10/sup -5/Scm/sup -1/ in Li /sub 1.52/ Mn /sub 1.24/ C1/sub 4/ at room temperature and 0.35 Scm/sup -1/ in Li /sub 1.9/ Cd /sub 1.05/ C1/sub 4/ at 400/sup 0/C. The three chloride spinels exhibit a first-order phase transition and a diffuse transition. The diffuse transition temperatures decrease with increasing x.
