There are indications that Lithium Sulphide could be made from liquid H2S and solid Li2CO3 powder. The reactor has to be super cooled because H2S wouldn't be in a liquid form. Let's assume the reaction goes like this:
Li2CO3 + H2S = Li2S + CO2 + H2O
I wonder what is the mechanism for this reaction.
Does a proton from H2S attaches to O leaving HS- ion? If that is the case would such a structure be unstable enough to let Li away to join HS- ion.
Is there anyone around with some ideas ?
