Abstract
The Na-β″-Al 2O 3 electrolyte materials with the relative density of 98% were synthesized by a solid state reaction route employing boehmite, Na 2CO 3, MgO as starting materials and TiO 2 as additive and characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM, bending strength testing and AC 4-probe method. The results show that TiO 2 can promote the sintering performance of Na-β″-Al 2O 3 electrolyte effectively and the purities of β″ phases were all above 96% when the content of TiO 2 ranging from 0.5%-2%. The obtained samples with TiO 2 dopants comprised of compact and plump grains exhibiting high density with uniform microstructure. The bending strength of the specimen was enhanced obviously with the increase of the TiO 2 additives. The ionic conductivity increased compared with the plain sample due to the decreased boundary resistance of the material.
