ABSTRACT
A variety of proton (H(+))-conducting oxides are known, including those used in electrochemical devices such as fuel cells. In contrast, pure H(-) conduction, not mixed with electron conduction, has not been demonstrated for oxide-based materials. Considering that hydride ions have an ionic size appropriate for fast transport and also a strong reducing ability suitable for high-energy storage and conversion devices, we prepared a series of K2NiF4-type oxyhydrides, La(2-x-y)Sr(x + y)LiH(1-x + y)O(3-y), in the hope of observing such H(-) conductors. The performance of an all-solid-state TiH2/o-La2LiHO3 (x = y = 0, o orthorhombic)/Ti cell provided conclusive evidence of pure H(-) conduction.
