Na3+xZr2Si2+xP1−xO12 was the very first series of NASICONs discovered some 40 years ago; however, separation of bulk conductivity from total conductivity at room temperature is still problematic. It has been suggested that the effective Na-ion conductivity is ∼10−4 S cm−1 at room temperature for Na3+xZr2Si2+xP1−xO12 ceramics; however using a solution-assisted solid-state reaction for preparation of Na3+xZr2Si2+xP1−xO12, a total conductivity of 5 × 10−3 S cm−1 was achieved for Na3.4Zr2Si2.4P0.6O12 at 25 °C, higher than the values previously reported for polycrystalline Na-ion conductors. A bulk conductivity of 1.5 × 10−2 S cm−1 was revealed by high frequency impedance spectroscopy (up to 3 GHz) and verified by low temperature impedance spectroscopy (down to −100 °C) for Na3.4Zr2Si2.4P0.6O12 at 25 °C, indicating further the potential of increasing the related total conductivity. A Na/Na3.4Zr2Si2.4P0.6O12/Na symmetric cell showed low interface resistance and high cycling stability at room temperature. A full-ceramic cell was fabricated and tested at 28 °C with good cycling performance.}, cin = {IEK-1}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-1-20101013}, pnm = {131 - Electrochemical Storage (POF3-131)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-131}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000463819400048}, doi = {10.1039/C9TA00048H}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/863239}, }
