  2. 1. Hydrogen in oxides: a density-functional study of thermodynamic and kinetic aspects

    Author : Mårten Björketun; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proton conduction; La$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$; protonation; kinetic Monte Carlo; density functional theory.; BaZrO$_3$; hydrogen oxide systems; electronic structure;

    Abstract : Many solid oxides, especially those possessing a perovskite structure, exhibit significant proton conductivity when being acceptor doped and placed in hydrogen-containing atmospheres. Consequently, they have attracted attention foruse as solid membranes in electrochemical devices such as gas sensors, steam electrolyzers and fuel cells. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quantum aspects of hydrogen in metals and oxides from density-functional calculations

    Author : Per G. Sundell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diffusion; density functional theory; hydrogen; quantum tunneling; electronic structure; perovskite oxide; metal; first-principles; DFT.; ab-initio;

    Abstract : Atomic hydrogen dissolved in a solid or adsorbed on a solid surfacedisplays many remarkable features, and is a subject ofgreat technological interest.An increased understanding of hydrogen/solid systems can supportthe development of areas as diverse asproton exchange membranes for fuel cells,heterogeneous catalysis, and growth of semiconductor devices.
