NaCl doped MgCl{sub 2}.nEtOH adducts were prepared by ball-milling MgCl{sub 2}.2.5EtOH with NaCl. Both the ball-milled MgCl{sub 2}.nEtOH/NaCl mixture and pure MgCl{sub 2}.2.5EtOH adducts were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermogravimetry (TG) and differencial scanning calorimetry (DSC). A simple MgCl{sub 2}.nEtOH/NaCl mixture without ball-milling treatment was also studied for comparison. Two kinds of mixed crystals, Na{sub 2}MgCl{sub 4} and NaMgCl{sub 3}, were found to be formed in a ball-milled mixture that contained 16 mol.% NaCl. TG and DSC analysis of the samples also provided indirect evidences supporting the presence of the mixed crystals in the ball-milled mixture. Adding certain amounts of NaCl in MgCl{sub 2}.2.5EtOH adduct, either by co-milling or by simple mixing, greatly increased the thermal stability of the adduct, but thermal decomposition behaviour of the ball-milled mixture was still different from that of a simple mixture.
