The lithiation and magnesiation of binary R5Sn3 (R = Y and Gd) phases has been studied by XRD, SEM, EPMA and electrochemical methods. The formation of R5Sn3Lix and R5Sn3Mgx ternary hexagonal phases as the results of insertion of Li/Mg into octahedral voids were observed during the first stage of electrochemical lithiation and magnesiation respectively. During the second stage of the electrochemical...
