Development of novel oxide protonics materials based on low-temperature fabrication processes

为了开发新型质子导电氧化物材料，研究了低温制备工艺，避免了高温合成过程中质子载流子的损失。新的质子传导材料已经被开发出来，其在合成过程中在其本体结构中保留了可观量的质子。此外，已被证明是一种可行的开发新的质子导电材料的基础上的纳米结构的陶瓷，利用其弱结合的晶界作为一个可能的导电路径。

In order to develop a new class of proton-conducting oxide materials, investigations have been made on low-temperature fabrication process, which avoids loss of protonic carrier during high-temperature treatment for synthesis. New proton-conducting materials have been developed, which retain appreciable amount of protons in their bulk structure incorporated during synthesis. In addition, a feasibility has been demonstrated for development of new proton-conducting materials based on nano-structured ceramics which make use of their weakly bonded grain boundary as a possible conduction path.
