Abstract: sodium fast ion conductors of NaLaS2 and NaLaS1.5Se0.5 were prepared by high temperature solid state reaction at 750℃. X-ray powder diffraction analysis confirms that NaLaS1.5Se0.5 is isostructural to NaLaS2 and NaLaSe2
(space group FM3-M). Their ionic conductive properties were investigated by AC impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range of 0.1Hz--100kHz at different temperatures. The conductivity of NaLaS1.5Se0.5 is higher than that of NaLaS2 at the same temperature. NaLaS 2 shows conductivity of 3.65×10-5S·cm-1 at 30℃ and 6.23×10-5S·cm-1 at 90℃, respectively; while NaLaS1.5Se0.5 displays higher conductivity of 8.11×10-5S·cm-1 at 30℃ and 1.37×10-4S·cm-1 at 60℃, respectively. This is probably due to the stronger polarization power of Se2--, the larger radius of Se2-, and subsequently the enlargement of local lattice.
