Hydride-ion-conducting K2NiF4-type Ba–Li Oxyhydride Solid Electrolyte
Nature materials(2022)
摘要
Hydrogen transport in solids, applied in electrochemical devices such as fuel cells and electrolysis cells, is key to sustainable energy societies. Although using proton (H + ) conductors is an attractive choice, practical conductivity at intermediate temperatures (200–400 °C), which would be ideal for most energy and chemical conversion applications, remains a challenge. Alternatively, hydride ions (H – ), that is, monovalent anions with high polarizability, can be considered a promising charge carrier that facilitates fast ionic conduction in solids. Here, we report a K 2 NiF 4 -type Ba–Li oxyhydride with an appreciable amount of hydrogen vacancies that presents long-range order at room temperature. Increasing the temperature results in the disappearance of the vacancy ordering, triggering a high and essentially temperature-independent H – conductivity of more than 0.01 S cm –1 above 315 °C. Such a remarkable H – conducting nature at intermediate temperatures is anticipated to be important for energy and chemical conversion devices.
