Physical and Electrochemical Behavior of Affordable Na3sbs4 Solid Electrolyte at Different Heat Treatment Temperatures
High-capacity and affordable all-solid-state Na-ion batteries have gathered increasing interest in recent years owing to low-cost sodium, which contributes to the reduction of the price of these batteries to approximately 70% of the price of lithium batteries. However, in terms of electrolyte performance and battery cost, the complete replacement of lithium batteries has a long way to go. In this work, low-cost and high-safety Na2S·9H2O materials are used in synthesizing Na3SbS4 solid electrolyte, the price of which is only one-fifth that of high-purity Na2S. The structure and electrochemical properties are studied through X-ray diffraction analysis, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electrochemical tests. Results indicate that a multiphase Na3SbS4 structure containing cubic and tetragonal phases formed after heat treatment at 300 ℃. In addition, a third phase transition of Na3SbS4 is inferenced after further heating at 600 °C. This phase structure contributes to the improvement of electrochemical performance by promoting increasing ionic conductivity to 0.5 mS/cm and reducing activation energy to 0.076 eV at room temperature. This work provides an affordable material with good electrochemical properties and not only simplifies the preparation but also greatly reduces the risk of the process
