Solid-state electrochemistry proton conductors

In a subject with the breadth of solid state electrochemistry, and with the inevitable constraints on the length of a textbook, some topics have been omitted. In particular, less emphasis on proton conduction has been given than on the transport of other ions, in part because of the existence of a recent book on this topic in the same series. Proton Conductors, Ed. Philippe Colomban, Cambridge University Press (1992). Also the important topic of intercalation into graphite has been largely omitted. Several excellent texts on this subject are already available. 

In addition to the oxygen separation membranes, the proton conducting membranes can also be applied to reduce NO emission by combining heterogeneous catalysis and solid state electrochemistry. The solid electrolytes in MRs serve to electrochemically control chemisorptive bonds and enhance catalytic activity. Figure 8.10 shows the schematic diagram of a steam electrolysis cell constructed with a proton conductor for reducing NO. Steam is electrolyzed at the anode. It shows the produced H+ is electrochemically pumped to the cathode and reacts with NO to produce Nj and HjO ...
