The electrical conductivities of NaCrO 2 powders synthesized from Na 2 CO 3 and Cr 2 O 3 reactants with and without mechanical activation at room temperature before the high temperature reaction are investigated in detail. The effect of holding time at the 900 C reaction on the electrical conductivity is studied as well. It is found that the impurities in the powders and structural defects of the resulting NaCrO 2 crystals strongly depend on the synthesis conditions. The impurities and specially the crystal defects, in turn, influence the electrical conductivity of NaCrO 2 powders substantially. In particular, the electrical conductivity of NaCrO 2 is found to be mainly controlled by the degree of misplacement of Cr+ 3 ions in the Na sites of the O3-NaCrO 2 layered structure. The bulk ionic conductivity is determined to be 9.8× 10− 7 S/cm when there is only 0.34% misplacement of Cr+ 3 ions in the Na sites, but drops to 1.7× 10− 7 S/cm when the misplacement increases to 9.97%. Such a strong correlation of more misplacement with lower electrical conductivity is attributed to blocking of Na ion transport on the Na plane by the misplaced Cr+ 3 ions in the O3-NaCrO 2 layered structure.
