Dense ceramics of Na3xLa2/3−xZrO3−δwith orthorhombic (Pnma) perovskite structure have been prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) to investigate their Na+ion conducting behaviors combining with crystal chemistry. Despite of suppressed Na volatilization owing to the SPS technique, the Na component tends to be partially lost during sintering, and consequently, the chemical composition of perovskite is limited to a small range, 3x= 0.32–0.35, which is favored under an equilibration with secondary phases of La2Zr2O7pyrochlore and ZrO2. A sample with Na0.32La0.48ZrO2.9exhibits an enhanced bulk conductivity (7.2 × 10−5S cm−1at 350 °C) and a much lower activation energy (0.26 eV) as compared with those observed in isostructural titanate-derivative of Na3xLa2/3−xTiO3, indicating that the expanded perovskite lattice by the Zr-substitution for Ti offers migration pathways wide enough for Na+ion.
