We have synthesized anti-perovskite type Na<sub>3</sub>OX (X = Br, and I) electrolytes with high purity, by reactions of halogen mixtures with sodium oxides. After mixing, it was filled in an alumina crucible and heated for 6 hours at 330°C. It was confirmed that a large crystal strain was introduced by eutectication, which might reduce the activation energy of Na ion conduction and lead to an improvement of the conductivity. A relatively higher ionic conductivity of σ = 1.55 × 10<sup>-7</sup> S/cm at 60°C has been obtained for Na<sub>3</sub>OBr<sub>0.6</sub>I<sub>0.4</sub>, which is about three orders higher than that in literature. A different ratio of X (X = Br, I) ions was added into sodium oxide to make the Na<sub>3</sub>OX crystal. The influence of strain introduction on optimizing the bottleneck and improving the conductivity was discussed.展开更多
