Hydride Intercalation of Lithium into Ni3GaTe2

In order to expand the methods of lithium intercalation into layered multicomponent matrices, the reaction of lithium hydride with layered telluride Ni₃GaTe₂ through the stage of formation of mechanocomposites has been studied. Intercalation compounds Li_xNi₃GaTe₂ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) have been shown to form when annealing mechanocomposites of the matrix and intercalating agent (LiH) in argon. The channels of hydride ion conversion have been studied and transformations involving the matrix have been described at various temperatures and molar ratios of the matrix and intercalating agent.
