Popis: Composites of Na2SO4 is promising for solid electrolyte application. In this initial study, composites of Al2O3/Na2SO4 were successfully synthesized from local kaolin through an alkaline destruction method combined with sulphatization. The composites were characterized including thermal behaviour, mineral phases, chemical composition, FT-IR spectra, and microstructures. The composites consist of a-Al2O3 and Na2SO4 phases after calcination at 1300 °C. This phenomenon is confirmed by the XRF and FT-IR result. The composite consists of Al2O3 and Na2SO4 as major components, accounting 41.98% and 47.09% of the total, respectively. Meanwhile, SiO2 is found as the impurity, accounting 2.86% of the total. The vibration modes of Al-O bonds are detected at 995.27 and 524.46 cm1, whereas the SO4 bands appear at 1111.00 and 617.22 cm1. Na2SO4 exhibits a rod-like particle that cover the alumina surface in the morphology.
