Novel compounds or compositions are provided capable of serving as solid electrolytes involving intercalated dichalcogenides having a combination of a tetravalent metal ion with a metal ion of lower oxidation state and a compensating amount of alkali metal ions to provide a substantially electrically neutral structure. The compositions have the formula: AxMxT1-xX2 where A is an alkali metal ion, M is a metal ion of lower valence state than T, T is a metal capable of forming a stable substantially electrically non-conductive intercalatable chalcogenide and X is a chalogen. Also included are batteries employing the subject compositions as the solid electrolyte. |
