The Hydrogen Stream: Japanese scientists develop proton-conducting perovskites for fuel cells

Scientists from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) have developed a highly oxygen-deficient perovskite for protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs), while the European Commission has approved its fourth Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI). Tokyo Tech scientists have reported that their newly developed perovskite - BaScO2. 5 doped with W6+ cations (BaSc0. 8W0. 2O2. 8) - has achieved high proton conduction at low and intermediate temperatures due to its large amounts of oxygen vacancies. "By the donor doping of large ...
