Limits of Proton Conductivity

Klaus‐Dieter Kreuer, Andreas Wohlfarth

Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

Parasitic current seems to be the cause for the "highest proton conductivity" of a material reported to date. Kreuer and Wohlfarth verify this hypothesis by measuring the conductivity of the same materials after preparing them in a different way. They further explain the limits of proton conductivity and comment on the problems of determining the conductivity of small objects (e.g., whiskers, see picture).
