Ionic solids (e.g., disordered rock salt oxide/oxyfluoride (DRX) compositions) useful as lithium ion cathodes are synthesized by microwave processes that are two orders of magnitude faster than conventional solid and mechanochemical synthesis processes. The microwave synthesis can be carried out in ambient air, so that the synthesis time, the energy consumption and the cost are greatly reduced. In one illustrative embodiment of the method, the precursor powders are mixed and pressed into pellets. Then putting the pellets into a ceramic crucible surrounded by activated carbon; and then the crucible is placed in 1200W microwaves to be continuously heated for 5-20 minutes. And after the microwave radiation is stopped, immediately and quickly taking out the pellets from the crucible, and quenching in water. The pellets are then dried and milled into a powder, which is the final DRX product.
