As part of a master`s thesis, the interface between Na metal and the Na ion conductor Na2 Zr2 SiP2 O12 is to be optimized through the use of thin intermediate layers. The influence of these layers on the interfacial resistance and critical current density is to be investigated in symmetrical cells. Finally, the most promising intermediate layer will be integrated into full cells to determine its effect on performance and cycle stability. Electrochemical characterization will be performed using impedance spectroscopy, galvanostatic cycling, and cyclovoltammetry. Various scanning electron microscopes are available for characterizing the microstructure.
