The high ionic conducting sodium superionic conductor Na3 Zr2 Si2 PO12 -NaI composites have been prepared successfully via solid state reaction route. As the NaI content increases, the ionic conductivity significantly changes. The composites with 4% NaI show a maximum ionic conductivity of ~ 3 x 10-4 Ω-1cm-1 at 200o C which is one order of magnitude rise as compared to the pristine sample. Further crystal structure and surface morphology also reveal the formation of a glassy phase due to the presence of Na-Si-P-O-I interaction.
