“…(d) Plots of the fractional water uptake F w (= y /2δ) in hydrated perovskite-type and hexagonal perovskite-related oxides against the amount of oxygen vacancies δ in dry materials, showing the proton concentration y of hydrated materials. The blue solid circle stands for the data of BEAS, and black, green, and blue open circles denote the data of Ba B O 3−δ ·( y /2)H 2 O perovskites, ,− B -site-deficient hexagonal perovskite-related materials with the intrinsically oxygen-deficient cubic close-packed c′ layer Ba B 1– x O 3−δ ·( y /2)H 2 O ( x = 1/3, 2/7), , and Ba B O 2.8−δ ·( y /2)H 2 O hexagonal perovskite-related materials with h′ layer, respectively. ,, Here, B cations are relatively smaller than Ba 2+ .…”
