Inspired by the recent interest in fast ionic conducting solids for electrolytes, the ionic conductivity of a novel ionic conductor Na 1+ x Ti 2− x Ga x (PS 4 ) 3 has been investigated. Using X‐ray diffraction and impedance spectroscopy the sodium ionic conductivity in this compound was demonstrated, in which bond valence sum analysis suggests a tunnel diffusion for Na + . Substitution with Ga 3+ leads to an increasing Na + content, an expansion of the lattice and an increasing conductivity with increasing x in Na 1+ x Ti 2− x Ga x (PS 4 ) 3 . Given the relation to the NASICON family, upon replacement of the phosphate by a thiophosphate group, a rich structural chemistry can be expected in this class of materials. This work demonstrates the potential for making NaTi 2 (PS 4 ) 3 an ideal system to study structure‐property relationships in ionic conductors.
