Abstract
Tungsten-substituted Na3SbS4 shows enhanced ionic conductivity but the role of sintering treatments is not well understood. The effects of sintering on Na3–xSb1–xWxS4 were examined and found to slightly increase the solubility of W, reduce voids, and possibly increase contact area. Changes in phase composition and morphology play a key role in the performance of Na3–xSb1–xWxS4 electrolytes.
