Lithium nitride of increased conductivity, method for its preparation, and its use

摘要

Crystalline lithium nitride of increased conductivity having a hydrogen content of 0.2 to about 8 mole percent, a sodium, potassium and calcium content each of less than 10-2 weight percent and a silicon and iron content each between 10-2 to 10-3 weight percent, the metallic lithium from which said crystalline lithium was prepared having been of at least 99.9 weight percent purity.
