摘要

This study investigates the modification of Na-β″-Al2O3 solid electrolytes by employing TiO2 as a sintering aid via a pressureless sintering process and systematically characterizes the influences of TiO2 doping on the microstructure and electrochemical properties by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). For the optimized sample sintered at 1550 ℃ with 1 wt% TiO2, the β″ phase content is elevated from 97.26 to 99.43%, while the relative density is improved from 94.77 (3.09 g·cm⁻3) to 97.62% (3.21 g·cm⁻3); such synergistic optimization of the crystal structure and microstructure contributes to an excellent ionic conductivity of 0.204 S·cm⁻1 at 350 ℃, which is a 71.43% enhancement compared with the undoped sample (0.119 S·cm⁻1), and the activation energy is reduced to 0.261 eV. This work verifies that TiO2 doping is a feasible and efficient approach to promote the densification and electrochemical performance of Na-β″-Al2O3 solid electrolytes, laying a solid foundation for their further application in high-performance solid-state energy storage and conversion devices.
