Solid-state proton conductors (SSPCs), which are a key component for the safety and
efficiency of fuel cells, have received much attention due to their broad application in …

Ion transport in crystalline fast ionic conductors is a complex physical phenomenon. Certain
ionic species (eg, Ag+, Cu+, Li+, F–, O2–, H+) in a solid crystalline framework can move as …

In the present study, morphological and electrical properties of BaZrO3 were investigated as
a function of the ionic radii mismatch between Zr and the different B-site dopants (Al, Sc, In …

The discovery of hydrogen-induced electronic phase transitions in strongly correlated
materials such as rare-earth nickelates has opened up a new paradigm in regulating …

The effects of stress‐induced lattice distortions (strain) on the conductivity of Y‐doped
BaZrO3, a high‐temperature proton conductor with key technological applications for …

Lithium diffusion in spinel Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 and LiTi 2 O 4 compounds for future battery
applications has been studied with muon spin relaxation (μ+ SR). Measurements were …

Hydration of oxygen-deficient metal oxides causes filling of oxygen vacancies and formation
of hydroxyl groups with interstitial structural protons, rotating around the oxygen in localized …

Although promising, regulating the surface strain is still immature for enhance the
performance of proton-conducting materials and no clear law has been found. In this work …

Proton conduction is an important property for fuel cell electrolytes. The search for molecular
details on proton transport is an ongoing quest. Here, we show that in hydrated yttrium …

10% yttrium doped barium zirconate (BZY10) was synthesized by solid state reaction and a
99.8% dense and transparent sample was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at …
