Glass formation occurred, in the Na2O-Ta2O5-P2O5 system, in the region of the above composition. The glasses which were investigated here were characterized by a marked Na+ mobility (tables 10 and 11), when compared with that of other glassy oxide electrolytes with a Na+ content of about 1.5 x 1022/cm3. This was verified by means of impedance spectroscopy and was explained in terms of the existence of a NASICON-like arrangement of oxo-coordination polyhedra in the glass network.
