A Na-ion solid-state electrolyte, Na3P0.62As0.38S4, is developed with an exceptionally high conductivity of 1.46 mS cm-1 at 25 degrees C and enhanced moisture stability. Dual effects of alloying element As (lattice expansion and a weaker As. S bond strength) are responsible for the superior conductivity. Improved moisture stability is regulated by shifting low-energy moisture reactions to high-energy ones due to As.
