Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to provide the guiding principle for realizing highly proton-conducting oxides on the basis of concentrated acceptor dopants and thereby protons, proton transport properties in Y-doped BaZrO3 have been examined in terms of dependence on the Y concentration. It was found that the proton conduction is governed by percolation mechanism, in which the macroscopic proton diffusivity is enhanced by establishment of conduction pathway consisting of virtual conductive clusters upon increase in Y concentration. The finding implicates that increase in the acceptor concentration does not only increase the proton concentration, but also contributes to enhance the macroscopic proton diffusivity, and the percolation behavior is closely associated with the local structure determined by the size of the acceptor dopant.
