Computational Studies of the Structure and of the Proton Transport Phenomena in Systems Derived from Barium Cerate Perovskite Structure

2007

The final task of the whole research project is the design of new ceramic materials for protonic conduction in the range of temperature 350-750 °C. To this aim, it was planned to deepen the information on the systems obtained by doping the Ce site in the BaCeO3 perovskite matrices. In these compounds, cerium has been substituted by trivalent elements (Y, In), thus creating – to fulfill charge neutrality – oxygen vacancies that could be filled by hydroxyls groups. In this way protons have been introduced in the structure. These materials are currently investigated by both experimental and computational approaches to integrate framework structure and proton transport phenomena analyses. Due t…
