Abstract
It is now widely assumed that conductivity of solid electrolytes may be markedly enhanced by the “high-entropy” (HE) effect. However, HE electrolytes usually differ from their simpler isomorphs by other factors affecting conductivity: lattice expansion/contraction, mobile ion content, bond ionicity, quality of samples. To attribute enhanced conductivity to the HE effect, all other factors should be identical. This work compares “simple” and “HE” ceramic sodium-ion conductors of two related structure types: P2 Nax(MyTi1-y)O2 and honeycomb-ordered P2S Na2M2TeO6, with similar unit cell data, x values, density, and texture and does not reveal any considerable HE effect. In particular, new Na2M2TeO6 conductors combining three to five divalent M (from the list Mg, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) show similar conductivities with their monocation analogs. Higher conductivity of the P2-type titanates (2–4 mS/cm at 373 K) is explained by the geometrical effect due to smaller size of octahedral cations and possibility of decreased x values.
期刊介绍:
This interdisciplinary journal is devoted to the physics, chemistry and materials science of diffusion, mass transport, and reactivity of solids. The major part of each issue is devoted to articles on:
(i) physics and chemistry of defects in solids;
(ii) reactions in and on solids, e.g. intercalation, corrosion, oxidation, sintering;
(iii) ion transport measurements, mechanisms and theory;
(iv) solid state electrochemistry;
(v) ionically-electronically mixed conducting solids.
Related technological applications are also included, provided their characteristics are interpreted in terms of the basic solid state properties.
Review papers and relevant symposium proceedings are welcome.
