Lithium and sodium (Na) mixed polyanion solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries display some of the highest ionic conductivities reported to date. However, the effect of polyanion mixing on ion transport properties is still debated. Here, we focus on Na1+ xZr2SixP3− xO12 (0≤ x≤ 3) NASICON electrolyte to elucidate the role of polyanion mixing on Na-transport properties. Although there is a large body of data available on this NASICON system, transport properties extracted from experiments or theory vary by orders of magnitude, signifying the need to bridge the gap between different studies. Here, more than 2,000 distinct ab initio-based kinetic Monte Carlo simulations have been used to map the statistically vast compositional space of NASICON over an unprecedented time range and spatial resolution and across a range of temperatures. We performed impedance spectroscopy of samples with varying Na compositions revealing that the highest ionic conductivity (~ 0.1 S cm–1) is achieved in Na3.4Zr2Si2.4P0.6O12 , in line with our predictions (~ 0.2 S cm–1). Our predictions indicate that suitably doped NASICON compositions, especially with high silicon content, can achieve high Na+ mobilities. Our findings are relevant for the optimization of mixed polyanion solid electrolytes and electrodes, including sulfide-based polyanion frameworks, which are known for their superior ionic conductivities.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
