In accordance with the purpose(s) of the present disclosure, as embodied and broadly described herein, the disclosure, in one aspect, relates to solid chalcohalide electrolytes and the efficient synthesis of solid chalcohalide electrolytes. The electrolytes have the general formula A.sub.aM.sub.bN.sub.cX.sub.dY.sub.eS.sub.f and have relatively high ionic conductivity. The electrolytes can be a component of different types of batteries. The process of synthesizing the electrolytes can be done with cost-effective materials, which is useful for scaling-up production of batteries such as all-solid-state batteries.

The present invention belongs to the field of battery materials, and relates to a process for preparing a particulate lithium manganese nickel spinel compound, and materials produced by the process. The process of the invention uses Mn-containing precursors, Ni-containing precursors, Li-containing precursors and optionally M-containing precursor which form substantially no NOx gases during calcination. The particulate lithium manganese nickel spinel compound product of the process may find use in a lithium ion battery.
