Fabrication and preliminary testing of patterned silver cathodes for proton conducting IT-SOFCs
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.

Proton conductivity of Li+–H+ exchanged Li7La3Zr2O12 dense membranes prepared by molten long-chain saturated fatty acids
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.
