Recently, hydride ion (H −) has come to be recognized as new charge carrier for the transport of hydrogen in solids by realization of pure H − conduction in BaH 2 and La 2−x−y Sr x+y LiH 1−x+y O 3−y oxyhydride system (LSLHO). In this study, the H − conductive oxyhydride, LaSrLiH 2 O 2 (x = 0, y = 1 in LSLHO), was synthesized by a conventional solidstate reaction at ambient pressure. The crystal structure of LaSrLiH 2 O 2 , as well as the H − conductivity and bonding state of hydrogen, was examined by Rietveld analysis using X-ray and neutron diffraction data, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The sample synthesized at ambient pressure had a K 2 NiF 4 -type layered perovskite structure composed of alternately stacked tetragonal (LiH 2 ) − and (LaSrO 2 ) + layers, and exhibited a conductivity of H − of 3.2 × 10 −6 S cm −1 at 300°C, which were the same structure and property as that reported previously for a sample synthesized by high-pressure synthesis.
