Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a sodium ion conductor whose sodium ion conductivity is improved more than the conventional. The sodium ion conductor is a molecular crystal constituted of NaCB9H10, NaCB11H12, and a sodium halide, the sodium halide having a mol fraction of more than 0 and at most 70 on the basis of the total mol ratio of NaCB9H10, NaCB11H12, and the sodium halide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A sodium ion conductor that is a molecular crystal constituted of NaCB 9 H 10 , NaCB 11 H 12 , and a sodium halide, the sodium halide having a mol fraction of more than 0 and at most 70 on the basis of a total mol ratio of NaCB 9 H 10 , NaCB 11 H 12 , and the sodium halide. 2. The sodium ion conductor according to claim 1 , wherein the sodium halide is NaF. 3. The sodium ion conductor according to claim 1 , wherein the sodium halide has a mol fraction of 0.1 to 60. 4. The sodium ion conductor according to claim 1 , wherein fractions of NaCB 9 H 10 and NaCB 11 H 12 are such that NaCB 9 H 10 :NaCB 11 H 12 is equal to 50:50 to 90:10 in terms of mol ratio. 5. A solid-state sodium-ion battery comprising: a cathode active material layer; an anode active material layer; and a solid electrolyte layer that is arranged between the cathode active material layer and the anode active material layer, the solid electrolyte layer containing a sodium ion conductor that is a molecular crystal constituted of NaCB 9 H 10 , NaCB 11 H 12 , and a sodium halide, the sodium halide having a mol fraction of more than 0 and at most 70 on the basis of a total mol ratio of NaCB 9 H 10 , NaCB 11 H 12 , and the sodium halide. 6. The sodium ion conductor according to claim 5 , wherein the sodium halide is NaF. 7. The sodium ion conductor according to claim 5 , wherein the sodium halide has a mol fraction of 0.1 to 60. 8. The sodium ion conductor according to claim 5 , wherein fractions of NaCB 9 H 10 and NaCB 11 H 12 are such that NaCB 9 H 10 :NaCB 11 H 12 is equal to 50:50 to 90:10 in terms of mol ratio.
