Abstract Ammonium/hydronium β-alumina,[NH 4 H 3 O] 1.67 Mg 0.67 Al 10.33 O 17, is an unusually stable and conductive solid electrolyte for protonic ions. Its conductivity at 200° C, for example, reaches about 10− 2 (Ω cm)− 1. This paper describes an investigation of the composition, stability, and ionic conductivity of ammonium/hydronium β ″-alumina by means of chemical analysis, TGA, DSC, and complex impedance analysis. The results demonstrate that ammonium/hydronium β ″-alumina has a preferential composition of (NH 4) 1.0 (H 3 O) 0.67 Mg 0.67 Al 10.33 O 17, which corresponds to a rather elegant, albeit only hypothetical at this time, ordered arrangement of ammonium ions, hydronium ions, and vacancies in the structure. Ammonium/hydronium β ″-alumina decomposes below 350° C in discrete and reversible reactions that yield water and ammonia. The conductivity of single crystals of (NH 4) 1.0 (H 3 O) 0.67 Mg 0.67 Al 10.33 O 17 obeys an Arrhenius relationship below 200| MoC with an activation energy of 0.26 eV (σ= 10− 3 (Ω cm− 1 at 25° C).
