“…It was found that partial substitution of cerium with zirconium is one of the best ways to optimise transport and mechanical properties and also This paper is devoted mainly to the applied aspects of the synthesis and application of proton conductors based on barium cerate. However, it is noteworthy to mention that these systems are of significant fundamental interest for researchers from the viewpoint of mechanisms of conductivity [186,187,212,[354][355][356][357], H/D isotope effects [358][359][360][361][362], macrokinetic and thermodynamic aspects of SOFCs based on co-ionic or pure protonic conductors [363][364][365][366][367][368][369][370]. It can be concluded that although at the present time many technical difficulties and problems related to the optimization of the target properties of BaCeO 3 -based proton conductors have been solved, the quest for the optimal protonic (co-ionic) materials…”
