Sulfide glasses capable of conducting alkali metal ions are prepared from a nonmetal glass former such as GeS. sub. 2, B. sub. 2 S. sub. 3 and SiS. sub. 2 in mixture with a glass modifier such as Na. sub. 2 S or another alkali metal sulfide. A molten mixture of the constituents is rapidly quenched to below the glass transition temperature by contact with a metal mold. The rapid quench is sufficient to prevent crystallization and permit solidification as an amorphous solid mixture. An oxygen-free atmosphere is maintained over the mixture to prevent oxidation. A new glass system of (1-X) Na. sub. 2 O:XB. sub. 2 S. sub. 3 is disclosed.

An ionically conducting glass for use as a solid electrolyte in a power or secondary cell containing an alkali metal-containing anode and a cathode separated by an alkali metal ion conducting glass having an ionic transference number of unity and the general formula: A. sub. 1+x D. sub. 2-x/3 Si. sub. x P. sub. 3-x O. sub. 12-2x/3, wherein A is a network modifier for the glass and is an alkali metal of the anode, D is an intermediate for the glass and is selected from the class consisting of Zr, Ti, Ge, Al, Sb, Be, and Zn and X is in the range of from 2. 25 to 3. Of the alkali metals, Na and Li are preferred and of the intermediate, Zr, Ti and Ge are preferred.
