Drastically higher conductivity was found in the amorphous lithium-ion conducting nitride relative to the crystal. The amorphous Li2CN2 prepared by a mechanochemical process has the conductivity of 1.1 × 10−6 S cm−1 at 25°C, which is more than 1000 times higher than that of the crystalline form. The nitride has a better deformability compared to Li3BO3 oxide glass.
