Abstract
Na2CaSnS4 was prepared by mechanochemical synthesis from a mixture of Na2S, CaS, and SnS2. The crystal structure was determined from X-ray powder diffraction data. The chemical composition was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and the ionic conductivity was measured using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Na2CaSnS4 crystallizes with a rock salt-type structure, space group Fmm, a = 5.6842 (3) Å, V = 183.66 (2) Å3, and Z = 1. All the cations are statistically disordered over a unique crystallographic site and are octahedrally coordinated to the sulfur atoms. The ionic conductivity of Na2CaSnS4 is 4.2 × 10−8 S cm−1 (Ea = 0.6 eV) at 33 °C.
