A method for synthesizing an alkali metal-based phosphorous compound, the method comprising:
- contacting an elemental alkali metal with elemental phosphorous to create a mixture;
- and
- applying a total pressure of less than 20 gigapascals to the mixture for forming the alkali metal-based phosphorous compound
- wherein the pressure is applied to the mixture at about room temperature.
