Lanthanum polyphosphate (LaP3O9) is an attractive candidate for the electrolytes in fuel cells because of its relatively high proton conductivity. However, the proton conduction mechanism in LaP3O9 (i.e., proton transport pathways and its relationship with the crystal structure) still remains poorly understood; thus, there has been no clear strategy for enhancing the conductivity. In this paper, we show that the fast and anisotropic proton conduction pathways exist along the b- and c-axes in the crystal lattice of LaP3O9, and the proton conductivity can be remarkably improved by controlling the microstructure of the electrolyte membranes. The first-principles calculations reveal that protons migrate only along the neighbors of specific oxide ions in the PO4 chains, leading to the conductivity anisotropy, which is readily confirmed using Sr-doped LaP3O9 single crystals. The c-axis oriented, coarse-grained polycrystalline membranes of Sr-doped LaP3O9 prepared by solution synthesis techniques exhibit markedl...
