The sintering behavior of Na3Zr2Si2PO12, Na3.08Zr1.96X0.04Si2PO12 (X = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba), Na3Zr1.5 Si2PO12, and Na3Zr1.3Si2PO12 was studied between 900 and 1300°C. Microstructural examination indicated that liquid-phase sintering had occurred and that free ZrO2 was present in all of the samples. X-ray diffraction indicated that the NASICON and ZrO2 were monoclinic and that doping the Na3Zr2Si2PO12 with 0.02 mole% alkaline-earth ions (compared to the ZrO2 content) did not significantly increase the unit-cell volume. |
