Since these first reports, Iwahara and other investigators have studied the conductivities (both ionic and electronic), conduction mechanism, deuterium isotope effect, and thermodynamic stability of these materials. The motivation for most of this work derives from the desire to utilize these materials for high temperature, hydrogen-fiieled solid oxide fuel cells. In a reverse operation mode, if metal or metal oxide electrodes are deposited onto a dense pellet of this material and heated to temperature T, the application of an electric potential to the electrodes will cause a hydrogen partial pressure difference across the pellet according to the Nemst equation ...
