Beside the well-known sodium solid electrolytes β-Alumina and NASICON, Na5YSi4O12 (NYS) is another promising crystal structure with a high ionic conductivity. Its main advantage over the two above-mentioned structures is the reduced production complexity and the associated costs. However, very little is known about its complex crystal structure and properties.
Starting from a crystallographic point of view, sodium ion conduction pathways have been considered with the Voronoi-Dirichlet and the energy-scaled bond valence approaches, and compared with the pathways in other ion conductors.
In the present work, the crystal structure and ionic conductivity in polycrystalline NYS-materials, obtained by a glass-ceramic process, has been analysed using solid-state NMR and Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy respectively, and interpreted in respect to the theoretical predictions.
