Stable and high oxide-ion conductors based on a new
hexagonal perovskite-related oxide has been reported by scientists
at Tokyo Tech, Kojundo Chemical Laboratory Co. Ltd. and Australian
Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) in a recent
study. These high-performance oxide-ion conductors could pave the
way for the development of solid electrolytes for next-generation
batteries and clean energy devices such as solid oxide fuel
cells.
