On the development of proton conducting materials for technological applications

Some aspects of the simultaneous optimisation of material properties of proton conductors which are relevant for their use in electrochemical cells such as fuel cells, electrochemical reactors and sensors (high proton conductivity, chemical, electrochemical and morphological stability) are discussed. Suggestions are made for the further development of proton conducting perovskite type oxides, proton conducting polymer membranes and medium temperature proton conducting materials.
