The search for lithium ion conductors in crystalline or polycrystalline solid state ionic materials has resulted in finding a new class of compounds. Five new, stable, homogeneous compounds formed in the lithium alcohol systems, LiI—(ROH)x for R=CH3CH2OH, CH3CH2CH2OH, CH3CHOHCH3,, and CH3OH have been identified and characterized.
