In-situ heating transmission electron microscopy observations revealed certain distinctive structural phase transitions commonly existing in this system. A superstructure hexagonal phase, proposed arising from partial Na ordering, appears in this system in a high temperature range. The structural model for the superstructure phase has been given. Measurements of thermogravimetry （TG） and differential thermal analysis （DTA） demonstrated that certain structural phase transitions appear around 430 K.
