Abstract

Abstract : Proton conducting oxide (i.e., protonic ceramic) has been thought of as an ideal solid electrolyte for energy conversion and storage applications since Iwahara et al. reported the perovskite-type protonic ceramics represented by doped barium/strontium cerates and zirconates in the 1980s. Proton, as the charge carrier in protonic ceramics, possesses a much lower transport activation energy than oxide-ion, which has rendered protonic ceramics for extensive intermediate-temperature (IT, 400-700°C) electrochemical devices such as protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs), reversible protonic ceramic fuel cells, and protonic ceramic membrane reactors.
