ABSTRACT
This chapter is specifically concerned with the application of QENS for dynamical studies of proton conducting oxides. The primary interest in these materials, which may be classified according to their structure type, comes from their potential to contribute to a sustainable future, in particular through their use as electrolytes in next-generation, intermediate-temperature (≈200-500°C) solid oxide fuel-cell (SOFC) technology, (Kreuer, 2003; Malavasi et al., 2010; Steele and Heinzel, 2001) as well as through their use as electrolytes in hydrogen sensors and through their relatively unexplored potential as catalytic materials (Gelling and Bouwmeester, 1992).
