Three-dimensional superionic conductors with framework structures of rhombohedral type are promising materials for use in solid electrolytes in Na-S batteries. The most effective representatives of this group of substances are the sodium-zirconium silicophosphate produced previously having the approximate composition Na/sub 3/Zr/sub 2/Si/sub 2/Po/sub 12/ (NASICON) and the compound Na/sub 3/ Sc/sub 2/ (PO/sub 4/)/sub 3/. This paper researches compounds and solid solutions having (M/sub 2/(EO/sub 4/)/sub 2/)P-/sub 300/ rhombohedral frameworks (M is a trivalent or quadrivalent cation, and E is P, Si, or Ge). The authors attempt to examine the existence conditions for phases similar in structure and properties to NASICON and to establish the effects of various forms of substitution in the framework on the structural and electrophysical characteristics. The entire discussion is based on previous crystallochemical analysis of the composition-structure-property relationships for compounds crystallizing in the rhombohedral structural type, as well as with the structure types of garnet and langbeinite and on a proposed model for phase transitions of ferroelectric-superionic type in Na-Sc phosphate.
