Some sintered oxides based on BaCeO3 were found to exhibit appreciable proton conduction under hydrogen= containing atmosphere at high temperature. The verification of proton conduction was made by studying the EMF of various gas cells using the specimen ceramics as the solid electrolyte. The protonic conductivity in the Nd203 doped BaCeO3 was higher than that in the SrCeO3-based proton conductor found previously by us. These materials could be applied to the solid electrolyte for a hydrogen fuel cell, a hydrogen pump, and a steam electrolyzer to produce hydrogen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
