Na-β-Alumina (NaBA) is a well-known and commercially available solid electrolyte (SE) for high-temperature Na-S-accumulators (NSA). Under conditions of standard working temperatures of around 300 ∘C NaBA is stable, electrically insulating and ion-conducting.
These properties make NaBA also interesting for low-temperature NSA, as an alternative separator and as a reference for SE. The challenge for the transfer from a high- to a low-temperature working SE is to compensate the strong decreased ion-conductance by a decreased thickness, without reducing its stability and insulating properties. In this regard, the microstructure of NaBA and its influence on the conductivity has to be worked out and controlled during preparation.
We will present and discus results on multiscale investigation of commercial NaBA exhibiting a complex defect structure. This involves the analysis of the chemical and phase distribution as well as the microstructure and their influence on the conductivity.
