Name: NPSCl Cl-Doped Sodium-Ion Sulfide Solid-State Electrolyte (Na₂.₉PS₃.₉Cl₀.₁)

Material Form: Powder

Product Code: XN-NPSCL

Description:

NPSCl (Na₂.₉PS₃.₉Cl₀.₁) is a chlorine-doped sodium-ion sulfide solid-state electrolyte derived from the Na₃PS₄ framework. The introduction of Cl⁻ at the S-site and the matched Na vacancy create additional Na⁺ migration pathways, enhancing room-temperature ionic conductivity beyond pure Na₃PS₄. As a result, NPSCl is a strong candidate for all-solid-state sodium-ion batteries (Na-ASSBs) targeting low-cost, large-scale grid energy storage applications.

Application:

This material serves as a sodium-ion conducting solid electrolyte for all-solid-state sodium-ion batteries (Na-ASSBs), Na-S battery research, low-cost grid storage prototypes, and academic studies of fast Na⁺ ion transport in sulfide systems. Furthermore, it can be paired with sulfide or oxide cathodes in composite electrode formulations.

Characteristics:

Cl-doping enhances Na⁺ transport

Substituting Cl⁻ at the S-site creates Na vacancies that open additional Na⁺ migration channels. As a result, the room-temperature conductivity (~0.15 mS/cm) exceeds undoped Na₃PS₄ at the same temperature.

Sub-micron particle size

Average particle size of ~500 nm provides a high surface area for intimate cathode interface contact in composite electrode formulations. Therefore, this supports lower interfacial resistance and improved active material utilization.

Cubic Na₃PS₄-type framework

X-ray diffraction confirms the target cubic Na₃PS₄ framework with Cl-substitution. Consequently, the material delivers reproducible electrochemical performance and predictable behavior in cell architectures.

Low-cost sodium chemistry

Sodium-based electrolytes leverage abundant raw materials (Na vs Li). Therefore, NPSCl is well-suited for cost-sensitive, large-scale stationary storage applications where Li-ion economics are unfavorable.

Packaging & Storage:

The material ships vacuum-sealed under inert atmosphere in moisture-barrier aluminum-laminated bags. Therefore, customers should store sealed in an Ar or N₂ glovebox, protected from moisture. Because NPSCl is moisture-sensitive — sulfide electrolytes hydrolyze on contact with water to release H₂S — handle exclusively in a controlled dry environment with dew point < –40 °C. Reseal promptly after opening.

Safety:

For research and industrial use only. Hydrolysis of sulfide electrolytes releases hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), a toxic gas. Handle exclusively in a glovebox or well-ventilated dry environment. Wear full PPE (chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat, safety goggles, respirator if outside glovebox). Refer to SDS for complete safety information.
