| Abstract | Proton conductors capable of operating in the temperature range of 100–600 °C have received great interest for many application areas such as fuel cells, sensors, and electrolyzers; however, very few materials that can satisfy these demands have been reported to date. Here, we report a promising candidate for a solid electrolyte in intermediate-temperature electrochemical devices. First, MP2O7–MO2 composite ceramics (M = Sn, Si, Ti, and Zr) were prepared by reacting a porous MO2 substrate with an 85% H3PO4 solution at 600 °C. Although all the tested MO2 could react with H3PO4 to form the corresponding metal pyrophosphate layers on the surfaces of the exterior and interior substrate, the extent of MP2O7 growth in the obtained samples and their relative density were strongly dependent on the M species. These factors were the best for the SnP2O7–SnO2 composite ceramic, yielding the highest electrical conductivity in the temperature range of interest. Next, different low valence cations (cation = Mg2+, Sc3+, Ga3+, Y3+, In3+, La3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, and Gd3+) were doped into the SnP2O7–SnO2 composite ceramic. The most positive effect on the electrical conductivity was observed when Sm3+ was used as the dopant; the electrical conductivity of this sample was approximately one order of magnitude higher than that of the non-doped sample, especially at low temperatures below 250 °C. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses revealed that the quantity of protons incorporated in the SnP2O7 layer and their mobility were increased by the doping of Sm into the composite ceramic. As a consequence, the electrical conductivity of the Sm-doped SnP2O7–SnO2 composite ceramic reached ∼10−2 S cm−1 in the temperature range of 100–600 °C. Proton conduction in this sample was also investigated by various electrochemical techniques. The protons function as the predominant charge carrier in the sample, and the proton transport number was almost unity in both static and dynamic conditions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
