Novel synthesis and characterisation of Li-N-(H)-based materials for energy storage and conversion

This work was motivated by the extensive research on Li-N-(H)-based materials, which have attracted increasing interest for potential applications in hydrogen storage and lithium-ion batteries due to their extraordinary properties. In this thesis, Li3N-derived materials with potential use as energy storage and conversion materials were successfully synthesised and characterised. Novel energy-efficient synthetic routes such as microwave energy and ball milling as well as conventional heating methods were employed.
