Abstract

In this paper, we report our steps forward in the search of proton conducting metal oxides possessing disordered perovskite-type and B-site ordered double perovskites for application in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and mixed proton-electron conductors as anodes for SOFCs. Role of A- and B- site cations in the perovskite structures on electrical properties and their corresponding chemical stability in CO 2, H 2S and H 2O have been studied. Partial substitution of the parent phase is one of the most effective and popular approaches in which certain ions in the lattice are replaced by foreign species. However, "the right recipes" are not usually obvious; optimization on the functional physical and chemical properties is often based upon "the trial and error" strategy. Here, we review our progress since 2005 in the development of the proton conducting solid oxide fuel cells (H-SOFCs).
