Production
This salt may be produced from the reaction between aqueous polonium hydride and sodium metal:
- H2Po + 2 Na → Na2Po + H2
This method of synthesis is hampered by the chemical instability of hydrogen polonide.
Sodium polonide may also be produced by heating sodium and polonium together at 300–400 °C.

Crystal structure
Like lithium polonide and potassium polonide, sodium polonide has the antifluorite structure.
