The method is based on the theory of negative ion coordination polyhedron growth unit, and uses low-temperature plasma as a protective gas of a spray drying equipment.

A free space dimension of crystal growth in the crystallization process is reduced, and directional growth of crystals in the solid phase sintering process is induced. Secondly, the dispersion stability of the sodium super ionic conductor solid electrolyte precursor particles is improved.
