Powders of BaCe 0.95 Yb 0.05 O 3-δ were synthesized using the standard solid-state reaction method. The produced materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, and Raman spectrometry. The absorption kinetics of hydrogen was studied using the TA-TQ500 TGA. The XRD study established the following: the phase composition, cell parameters, and crystallite size. The SEM investigation allowed us to confirm the crystallite size. The Raman study permitted us to confirm the sample phase composition. The absorption study revealed higher absorption magnitudes than those possible if we consider that the proton can only be located in the oxide anions of the perovskite. To explain these results, we proposed that at high temperature the proton could be interstitially located in tetrahedral and octahedral sites because of the increment with temperature of electrons in the conduction band during hydrogen absorption. The enthalpy of absorption, ∆H ab 0 , was measured, and it was found that ∆H ab 0 ) 3.6 eV, a positive value in agreement with the increase with temperature of electrons in the conduction band. Besides, the chemical and self-diffusion coefficients were computed. Subsequently, were calculated the activation energy, E a , and the pre-exponential factor, D 0 / , using the self-diffusion data.The values obtained were E a ) 1.6 eV and D 0 / ) 0.5 × 10 -9 m 2 /s.
