Abstract

Truly proton-conducting materials would have an immense impact on sustainable energy technologies for the 21st century, through efficient fuel cells, electrolyzers, and gas-separation membranes. However, proton conduction combined with materials stability seems difficult to achieve, and some hurdles and pathways are outlined in this article. Problems, possibilities, and artifacts of transport across and along interfaces are discussed, linked mainly to space-charge layer properties and engineering of the grain-boundary core and to water in nanovoids. The importance of protons in many semiconducting functional oxides is also explained. At lower temperatures and in humid environments, the presence of protonated cation vacancies (Ruetschi defects) is predicted and is expected to play an important role in photoelectrochemistry, catalysis, and surface transport.
