Abstract

Glass ceramic samples with general composition: (2-х)Na₂О : хМ^І₂О : 3CoО : 2P₂O₅ (х = 0 or 0.05, М^І– Li, K) were synthesized by melt method with subsequent annealing of homogeneous glass at a temperature of 650°C. According to powder X-ray diffraction data, monophase phosphates with the general composition Na_4-хM^І_хСо₃(PO₄)₂P₂O₇which belong to the orthorhombic system (space group Pn2₁a) were obtained. The calculated cell parameters of prepared phosphates correlate with the size of the substituted alkali metal atom. The FTIR spectroscopy data confirm the presence of two anion types (РО₄ and Р₂О₇) in the structure of crystalline phosphates. The ionic conductivity properties of the synthesized samples were investigated using impedance spectroscopy method. Analisys of results showed an increase of specific conductivity at the partial substitution of sodium atoms (0.1 Na→0.1Li) in an initial structure Na₄Со₃(PO₄)₂P₂O₇. The obtained results can be in future used in the preparation of solid electrolytes for sodium-ion batteries based on substituted glass ceramics with the composition Na_4-хM^І_хСо₃(PO₄)₂P₂O₇ with improved ion-conducting characteristics.
