Abstract The Na–β''–Al2O3 electrolyte materials with the relative density of 98% were synthesized by a solid state reaction route employing boehmiteNa2CO3MgO as starting materials and TiO2 as additive and characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM, bending strength testing and AC 4-probe method. The results show that TiO2 can promote the sintering performance of Na–β''–Al2O3 electrolyte effectively and the purities of β phases were all above 96% when the content of TiO2 ranging from 0.5%–2%. The obtained samples with TiO2 dopants comprised of compact and plump grains exhibiting high density with uniform microstructure. The bending strength of the specimen was enhanced obviously with the increase of the TiO2 additives. The ionic conductivity increased compared with the plain sample due to the decreased boundary resistance of the material.
