Outline of Final Research Achievements

We combine ab initio calculations with H2O/D2O isotope exchange, AC impedance spectroscopy and thermogravimetric measurements of Sc-, In-, Lu-, Er-, Y- and Gd-doped barium zirconates to probe such effects. The measured Arrhenius curves for proton diffusivity increase in slope at lower temperatures in all cases as a result of proton trapping, with Lu displaying the smallest association energy of -0.26 eV. Although the proton-dopant association energy has showed raise and fall relationship against the ionic radius of dopant in the literature and in this study, monotonic correlation is found between the association and the hydrogen bond angle formed between the hydroxyl ion and acceptor oxygen in its lowest energy configuration. The hydrogen bond angle provides a consistent quantitative descriptor of macroscopic proton transport in the barium zirconates.
