In addition to their basic applications, ie sensors, separators, fuel cells and hydrogen pumps,
high temperature proton conductors have also been used in the construction of proton
conducting chemical reactors in which catalytic hydro-and dehydrogenations are studied.
The fundamental operating principles and research works in the past decade are presented
and evaluated. Recent results indicate that the most promising candidate systems for
promotion to an industrial scale, are a) the conversion of methane to benzene, b) the C 2 H 6 …
