The NaNbTi(PO4)3 material with the NASICON structure (space group R3c) was prepared by the Pechini-type technique followed by spark plasma sintering. XANES measurements revealed mixed-valence states of niobium (Nb5+/4+) and titanium (Ti4+/3+). The material exhibits reversible electrochemical intercalation of about 1.67 Na+ per formula unit at a C/10 rate, with a gradual decrease in capacity, which could be attributed to the mixing of Na+ and Ti3+ cations in the structure.
