Themed collection Conducting ceramic membranes for energy conversion and storage

This review provides a focused discussion on the structures and ionic conduction mechanisms of inorganic solid-state proton and hydride anion conductors.

This review article focuses on the methods to solve the critical issue of reduction in NASICON-type solid electrolytes such as Li_1+xAl_xTi_2−x(PO₄)₃ and Li_1+xAl_xGe_2−x(PO₄)₃ by Li metal.

This article presents the connection between the sintering parameters and microstructural and functional transport properties of dual-phase composite.

Accelerated stress test of protonic ceramic fuel cells for evaluating the durability of materials and interfaces.

Rare earth doped oxides have been intensively promoted for the last two decades to embrace the high-performance target of a ceramic–carbonate composite CO₂-separation membrane, with countless incidents of exsolution.

Patterned Ag cathodes are fabricated over a proton conducting electrolyte, and the preliminary electrochemical results suggest that the oxygen reduction process over Ag is likely controlled by both oxygen dissociation and charge transfer.

Alkali-proton exchange throughout ceramic dense bodies becomes possible using molten long-chain saturated fatty acids. As a case study, 91% Li⁺–H⁺ exchange of Al-doped cubic garnet-type Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ dense membranes was demonstrated in this work.

We calculate the energetics of protonation in proton-conducting oxides, as well as defect concentrations and mobility under electrolysis conditions.

A hybrid solid electrolyte prepared by fast UV-photopolymerization of a single-ion polymer network and ceramic garnet LLZO nanoparticles with very high lithium conductivity is reported.
