Abstract
Oxygen and hydrogen mobility are among the important characteristics for operation of solid oxide fuel cells, permselective membranes and many other electrochemical devices. This, along with other characteristics, enables reaching a high power density of solid oxide fuel cells and a high oxygen or hydrogen permeation fluxes for membranes. This work focuses on oxygen and hydrogen diffusion of mixed ionic (oxide ionic or/and protonic) – electronic conducting materials for these devices and its role in the performance. Ionic transport properties of conventional and state-of-the-art materials are reviewed.

1. Introduction

One of the major important challenges facing modern society is the necessity to search for renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources [1,2,3,4,5,6]. The progressive trend in alternative energy research is directed towards the intensive development of hybrid configuration systems that combine multiple energy sources and power systems to maximize the efficiency of energy production, use and storage [7,8,9,10,11,12]. Current polygeneration technologies include among others the combination of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) as a promising source of the direct energy production [13,14,15,16] with batteries, gas turbines, vehicles, heat systems, desalination systems, hydrogen production systems [17,18,19,20,21,22,23]. The hybrid systems of SOFCs with proton exchange membrane fuel cells [18,20,24] and waste-to-energy systems based on biofuels [25,26] should be mentioned separately.
The environmentally and economically efficient production of hydrogen and syngas for the above-mentioned polygeneration systems [27] and the dominant strategy to reduce the operating temperature of SOFCs [28] require the development of high performance construction materials. They can be used for the design of electrodes [29,30,31,32,33,34] and electrolytes [35,36,37,38,39,40] in SOFCs and for the design of gas separation membranes [41,42,43,44,45] as well as in catalytic membrane reactors [46,47,48]. Oxide materials with the mixed ionic-electronic conductivity (or mixed ionic electron conductors, MIECs) are considered as a prospective class of multifunctional materials and are widely investigated for their use in both SOFCs and membrane reactors [49,50,51,52,53,54,55].
A global search in the scientometric database Scopus with the query {mixed ionic electron conductor} yields 535 documents of the type Article and Review, indexed in the period from 1986 to June 2023. Figure 1, constructed with the software package VOSviewer version 1.6.19 [56] considering a minimum number of occurrences equal to 20 author keywords, visualizes the map with thematic clusters related to MIECs according to the query {mixed ionic electron conductor}.
The graphical data, shown in Figure 1, illustrate that the author keywords in the documents referring to MIECs can be divided into three thematic clusters: the green cluster focusing on SOFCs, the red cluster focusing on oxygen membranes, and the blue cluster focusing on electrical conductivity. It can be said that the blue cluster highlights the fundamental property of MIECs - the presence of ionic and electronic conductivity, while the red and green clusters characterize the applications of MIECs. The green cluster summarizes the electrochemical activity of MIECs as anode, cathode, including composite, and electrolyte materials, and the electrochemical performance of MIEC-based SOFCs in general. The red cluster generalizes the topics related to oxygen transport in MIEC-based membranes: oxygen mobility, oxygen permeability, oxygen diffusion, surface reactivity and ion exchange. Thus, published documents on the mixed ionic electron conductors can therefore be grouped under the three research themes mentioned above.
Among the highly cited documents in the MIEC search list in the Scopus database the reviews highlighting the applications of MIECs as the anode [57,58] and cathode [59,60] materials for SOFCs and as the ceramic separation membranes [49,50,51] are found.
As shown in [61,62], the performance of SOFCs and permselective membranes, both based on MIECs, correlates with oxygen mobility and surface reactivity, which can be characterized by the values of oxygen self-diffusion coefficient and surface exchange constant. According to the Adler – Lane – Steele model, the electrode activity is defined both by the values of the oxygen self-diffusion coefficient and the surface exchange constant of the electrode material and by the microstructure characteristics [61,63]. In contrast to cathodes made of materials with dominant electronic conductivity, whose performance is limited by the triple phase boundary (TPB), the performance of MIEC cathodes is limited by the double phase boundary (DPB). It stimulates the kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode and enhances ion transport to the electrolyte [62,64,65,66].
A syngas as a fuel for SOFCs can be produced from biofuels (methane, ethanol, etc.) oxidized with oxygen, which, in turn, can be separated from air using the oxygen separation membranes in catalytic membrane reactors. An asymmetric configuration of the membrane design includes a porous substrate and a gas-tight permselective layer, thus ensuring increased mechanical strength combined with a high oxygen flux [62]. High oxygen fluxes across the membrane and superior performance in catalytic reactions could be achieved if the materials used for the oxygen separation membranes (or for the permselective layer in the case of the asymmetric configuration) have a high mixed ionic-electronic conductivity [55,63].
The unique review work by Manthiram et al. [67] provides a comprehensive overview of the correlations between the chemical composition, crystal structure, electrotransport properties and electrochemical performance of the mixed ionic- electronic oxide conductors that could be used in both SOFCs and membrane reactors. Oxides with the perovskite structure ABO3, layered perovskites LnBaCo2O5+δ, Ruddlesden – Popper phases (La,Sr)n+1MnO3n+1 and hexagonal phases RBa(Co1–yMy)4O7 have been widely discussed in the review. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that review [67] was published in 2011. Therefore, the aim of the present review is to summarize the recent studies on the oxide materials with mixed ionic -electronic conductivity, such as perovskites, fluorites, Ruddlesden – Popper phases, pyrochlores, composites, focusing on their ion transport properties: oxygen and hydrogen diffusion, oxygen and hydrogen isotope exchange, oxygen and hydrogen mobility. The applications of MIECs in SOFCs as cathodes and as the functional layers of the oxygen separation membranes are also highlighted.

2. Oxygen and hydrogen diffusion in MIEC materials

2.1. Self-diffusion, tracer diffusion and chemical diffusion

Let us consider an oxide-based material, in which the following species are mobile: electrons/holes, oxide anions/oxygen vacancies, protons/hydroxyls, etc. The flux of each of these species is j i . In the absence of the gradients of electric potential and temperature, the Fick’s first law is satisfied:
j i | T = 0 = D i C i ,
where Di is a diffusion coefficient of i-th species, Ci is their concentration. Strictly speaking, the Equation (1) is correct if the diffusing species do not interact with each other. The interaction of the following species in triple-conductive oxides: holes, oxygen vacancies and protons, was noted in the number of studies [68,69],[70]. In this case, in a linear non-equilibrium thermodynamics region, the Equation (1) can be written as follows:
j i | T = 0 = k l D k ( l ) i C l ,
where the coefficients D k ( l ) i correspond to the effect of the l-th species concentration gradient, C l , on the i-th species diffusive flux, j i , and such coefficients are the sums of the respective species’ diffusion coefficients multiplied by the transference numbers. Three types of the D k ( l ) i coefficients can be distinguished:
  • “Direct” coefficients D i ( l ) i corresponding to the effect of the gradient C i on the flux j i ;
  • “Indirect” coefficients D l ( i ) i corresponding to the effective diffusion coefficients of i-th species under the effect of the driving force C l when C i = 0 , i.e. they correspond to the effect of the gradient C l on the flux j i when C i = 0 ;
  • The coefficients with three different indices D k ( l ) i correspond to the effective diffusion coefficients of i-th species when C k is a driven force and C l = 0 .
The Fick’s second law follows from the Fick’s first law and the mass conservation:
C i t = D i Δ ^ C i .
In the absence of the chemical potential gradient, Di is referred to as a self-diffusion coefficient. It is related to the ionic conductivity (σi) according to the Nernst – Einstein equation [71,72,73,74]:
σ i = f I , i D i C i q i k B T ,
where fI,i is a correlation factor, fI,i ≈ 1. The self-diffusion coefficient is related to the tracer diffusion coefficient ( D i * ) determined by isotope exchange techniques as follows:
D i * = f i D i ,
where fi is a correlation factor which is related to influence of counterflows of ions of different isotopes [71,73,74,75]. The ratio
H R = f f I
is referred to as a Haven ratio.
It is to be noted that i-th species’ mobility may be non-uniform in the material’s bulk: the fraction θ1 of these species possesses a self-diffusion coefficient of Di1, the fraction θ2 possesses a self-diffusion coefficient of Di2, etc. [75,76,77,78,79,80,81]. In this case, the transport of the i-th species’ can be described by a set of parameters {Dij(T), θj} or by an effective (mean) self-diffusion coefficient:
D o v e r , i = j θ j D i j .
If one of Dij significantly exceeds other self-diffusion coefficients (it can be denoted as Di,fast) and its fraction θj is high enough (it can be denoted as θfast), then Dover,iθfast Di,fast.
However, in real operating conditions of SOFCs/SOECs and permselective membranes, the chemical or electrochemical potential gradient occurs due to different gas phase composition in various device compartments and the flowing electric current. In this case, instead of the Fick’s first law (Equation (1)), the Nernst – Plank equation [82,83,84]
j i | T = 0 = D i C i D i C i q i k B T φ
or the modified Fick’s first law [74,82,85]
j i | T = 0 = Γ V D i C i
can be used, where ΓV is referred to as the thermodynamic factor, or in other words, the factor of enhancement. In this case, such a gradient as a driving force (as well as electroneutrality conservation) causes net transport of species characterized by a chemical diffusion coefficient (Dchem), which is related to the self- and tracer diffusion coefficients as follows [71,74,75]:
D c h e m = Γ V D i = Γ V H R D i * .
For oxide-ionic and mixed oxide-ionic – electronic conductors the following equations for the thermodynamic factor are known:
Γ V = t h 1 2 ln P O 2 ln C V O ,
Γ V = t h ( 1 + 4 C V O C h ) ,
where th is the hole transport number, P O 2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas phase, C V O and Ch are the concentrations of oxygen vacancies and holes in the oxide, respectively [74,75,85,86,87,88].
For protonic conductors, more complex relationship of chemical diffusion coefficient and self-diffusion coefficients of charge carriers is given in the work [68]:
D c h e m = ( 2 C OH O 2 C V O | P   H 2 O = 0 ) D H D V C OH O 2 C V O | P   H 2 O = 0 D H + 2 ( 1 C OH O 2 C V O | P   H 2 O = 0 ) D V ,
where C OH O is the concentration of hydroxyl ions in the oxide, P H 2 O is the partial pressure of water in the gas phase, DH is the self-diffusion coefficient of protons, DV is the self-diffusion coefficient of oxygen vacancies,
D V = C O C V O D O = 1 f O C O C V O D O * .
For oxide-ionic and mixed oxide-ionic – electronic conductors, the temperature dependence of oxygen self-diffusion coefficient is given according to the random walk theory:
Preprints 77936 g032
where ζ is a number of equivalent positions, ε is the random walk step length, ν is a frequency of particle vibrations, ΔmS and ΔmH are migration entropy and enthalpy, respectively [89].
For the self-diffusion coefficient of protons in interstitial sites of a metal face-centered cubic lattice with the parameter a (e.g., nickel), the following equation is given in the work [90]:
D H = a 2 k B T h exp ( Δ T S o x t G k B T ) ,
where h is the Planck constant, ΔTS–octG is the Gibbs’ energy of the proton transition from the transition state to the ground octahedral state.

2.2. Oxygen and hydrogen diffusion mechanisms

There are three general types of oxygen diffusion mechanisms in oxides and composites:
  • Vacancy mechanism (Figure 2 (a)): transport of regular oxide anions into neighboring vacancies; this mechanism is typical for perovskites, fluorites and many other types of oxides [53,91,92,93,94];
  • Interstitial mechanism (Figure 2 (b)): transport of interstitial oxide anions into neighboring interstitial sites; this mechanism is typical for some pyrochlores, mayenites and some other oxides [91,93,94,95,96,97];
  • Cooperative mechanism (Figure 2 (c)): cooperative movement of different types of oxide anions (regular, interstitial); this mechanism is typical for Ruddlesden – Popper phases, apatites, brownmillerites, orthorhombic oxides and is proposed for some other oxides [75,91,93,94,95,96,98].
In the case of non-uniformity of the oxygen mobility in the materials’ bulk due to structural and defect features, more complex features of oxygen transport can take place. They will be reviewed in details in Section 4.
The main mechanisms of hydrogen diffusion are:
  • Diffusion of protons through interstitial defects (Figure 3 (a)); this mechanism is typical for metals and alloys [90,99,100,101,102];
  • Grotthuss mechanism (Figure 2 (b)): jumps of protons between neighboring oxide anions with reorientation of M–O–H bonds; this mechanism is typical for the most oxides possessing a protonic component of conductivity [68,102,103];
  • Vehicle mechanism (Figure 3 (c)): transport of protons together with the neighboring oxide anion as a hydroxyl; this mechanism is also typical for proton-conducting oxides [68,102,103];
  • Diffusion of structurally bound water (Figure 3 (d)): transport of water species embedded into the lattice; this mechanism is proposed for some oxides [104,105].

2.3. Surface exchange of oxygen and hydrogen

In 1970s, V.S. Muzykantov demonstrated that the interaction of oxide-based materials with molecular oxygen takes place via a dissociative adsorption-desorption mechanism (Muzykantov-Boreskov mechanism) [106,107], which includes the following stages:
  • Physical adsorption;
  • Dissociative chemisorption:
O 2 ( g ) + 2 ( ) a = 2 ( O ) a ,
O 2   ( g ) + ( ) a + [ ] S = ( O ) a + [ O ] S ,
O 2 ( g ) + 2 [ ] S = 2 [ O ] S ;
3.
Embedding (the exchange itself):
( O ) а + [ ] S = ( ) а + [ O ] S .
Here, ( )a and [ ]S denote the adsorption site and oxygen vacancy on the surface, respectively, (O)a and [O]S are adsorbed (weakly bound, capable of surface diffusion) and surface (strongly bound with oxygen vacancy) oxygen species, respectively.
The exchange of oxygen with carbon dioxide proceeds in a different way compared to that with molecular oxygen. First, the entire surface of the material participates in the exchange, not only the active sites. Secondly, the mechanism of exchange is different. As a result, the exchange with CO2 proceeds 2–5 orders of magnitude faster compared to the exchange with O2. CO2 molecule is adsorbed on the surface of the oxide:
CO 2 ( g ) + ( ) a = ( CO 2 ) a ,
then interacts with a neighboring oxide anion to form the carbonate complex:
( CO 2 ) a + [ O ] = [ CO 3 ] S ,
or with a neighboring oxygen vacancy to form the carboxylate complex [108,109,110,111,112,113,114]:
( CO 2 ) a + [ ] = [ CO 2 ] S ,
or, especially at high temperatures, can dissociate to the adsorbed carbon monoxide molecule and adsorbed oxygen [114,115,116,117]:
( CO 2 ) a + ( ) a = ( CO ) a + ( O ) a .
The carbonate complexes can be negatively charged complexes like CO 3 2 , CO 3 , neutrally charged complexes like CO3, or complexes being something between CO3 and CO2 as well. They can have various configurations depending on the metal cation they are coordinated to. The examples of such complexes are given in Figure 4 [108,109,113,118].
The carboxylate ion-radical, formed by the interaction of the adsorbed CO2 molecule and the oxygen vacancy, is unstable, and the free valence of carbon would tend to be saturated (Figure 5) [113].
The interaction of molecular hydrogen with metals is described by two main mechanisms: Bonhoeffer – Farkas mechanism [119] corresponding to the dissociative adsorption of hydrogen with the formation of hydrogen adatoms Hа:
H 2 = 2 H а ,
and Eley – Rideal mechanism [120,121], for which the formation of a hydrogen adatom on the metal surface proceeds through the stage of the formation of a three-atomic activated complex ( H H H ) а :
H 2 + H а = ( H H H ) а .
For metals which can intercalate hydrogen in their structure as interstitial defects (Hi; Figure 3 (a)), the intercalation reaction is considered as well [101,102]:
H а = H i .
Oxide materials interact with molecular hydrogen via its adsorption, dissociation and interaction with surface oxygen. They interact with water via hydration. In both cases, hydroxyls are formed on the oxide surface. These reaction are given in the Equations (28) – (32) [68,69],[70,99,100].
H 2 = 2 H + 2   e   ,
H 2 + 2 O O × = 2 OH O + 2   e   ,
H 2 O + 2 h = 2 H + 1 2 O 2 ,
H 2 O + V O = 2 H + O O × ,
H 2 O + O O × + V O = 2 OH O .
The rate of surface exchange is typically determined in terms of a surface exchange constant (k). In the presence of a chemical potential gradient, there is a chemical surface exchange constant (kchem). In the absence of such a gradient, there is a surface exchange constant (kex or k* in the case of isotope studies) which, similar to diffusion coefficients, is related to the chemical surface exchange constant via a thermodynamic factor. The ratio of diffusion coefficient and surface exchange constant is referred to as a characteristic thickness [87,122]:
L C = D * k * , L C , c h e m = D c h e m k c h e m .

3. Isotope exchange of oxygen and hydrogen

Isotope exchange techniques are based on the substitution of one isotope of the element in the sample (e.g., oxygen, hydrogen) with the other isotope (e.g., 16O/18O, H/D) while interacting with a gas-phase reagent in equilibrium or steady-state. These methods allow to acquire the data on D* and k*. They can be divided into methods with the solid-state phase and gas phase analysis. The methods with solid-state phase analysis such as SIMS, in some cases do not allow to study diffusion processes in details, and allow to acquire the data on the mean integral diffusion coefficient. Therefore, the methods with the gas phase analysis are more suitable for studying oxygen and hydrogen mobility features for SOFC and permselective membrane materials [32,123]. The methods with gas phase analysis can be implemented using static or flow reactors. In the case of using flow reactors, gas-phase diffusion limitations are avoided, and more complete isotopic substitution can be achieved during the experiment, allowing oxygen and hydrogen transport features to be studied in greater details [32,54,62,75,116,123,124,125,126,127,128]. In the authors’ previous experimental works and reviews [54,62,75,125,126,127,128], it has been demonstrated that temperature-programmed oxygen isotope exchange with 18O2 and C18O2 allows to describe the oxygen surface exchange mechanisms and bulk oxygen diffusion features, including non-uniformity of bulk oxygen mobility, for many types of ceramic materials for SOFCs, permselective membranes and other applications. The most interesting feature of using C18O2 as a 18O-containing gas-phase reagent instead of 18O2 is faster surface exchange with C18O2 compared to that with 18O2 (as marked in the Section 2.3) [62,109,110,111,112], which generally allows to avoid the limitation of the process by the surface exchange (i.e., to carry out the experiments in the diffusion-controlled or mixed-controlled regime) [117] and to obtain more detailed data on the oxygen bulk diffusion [62,75,125]. Comparison of various types of isotope exchange experiments with gas phase analysis is given in Table 1.
The reaction of isotope exchange of the solid states with the gas-phase reagent containing two identical atoms (18O2, C18O2, D2, D2O, etc.) proceeds via routes which are classified as three types of exchange mechanisms according to the Muzykantov’s classification [129]:
  • Homoexchange:
o R0-type (0-atomic type, I type):
X2 + Y2 = 2 XY;
X2 + Y2 = 2 XY;
  • Heteroexchange:
o R1-type (1-atomic type, II type):
X2 + (Y)S = XY + (X)S,
  • o R2-type (2-atomic type, III type):
X2 + 2 (Y)S = Y2 + 2 (X)S.
In many cases, several types of exchange occur simultaneously.
If isotope exchange takes place with molecules containing more than two identical atoms, the mechanism can be more complex. For example, for hydrogen isotope exchange with methane, the theory of five types of exchange mechanisms is used [130,131].
Several models or combinations thereof are used to describe oxygen diffusion in the bulk [62,126,127,128]:
  • Uniform 1D model (e.g., simple oxides) (Figure 6 (a));
  • Non-uniform 1D model with a single diffusion channel involving the most weakly bound oxygen form and an exchange with the neighboring strongly bound oxygen forms (complex oxides) (Figure 6 (b));
  • Non-uniform 1D model with several parallel diffusion channels involving different oxygen forms (composites) (Figure 6 (c));
  • Non-uniform 2D model with a single fast diffusion channel along grain boundaries followed by diffusion of the isotope tracer within the grain bulk (monocrystalline) (Figure 6 (d));
  • Non-uniform 2D model with a single fast diffusion channel along grain boundaries with subsequent diffusion of the isotope tracer within the balk of different grains (polycrystalline) (Figure 6 (e)).
Generalized model of oxygen isotope exchange is following:
N g α g t + O = N S R Σ ( α s α g ) + O ( N g , α g ) ,
α s t = R Σ ( α g α s ) N b u l k N s D h 2 α b u l k η | η = 0 ,
α b u l k t = D h 2 2 α b u l k η 2 ,
N g f 16 18 t = N s R ( i ) ( P 16 18 f 16 18 ) + O ( N g , f 16 18 ) ,
where Ng, NS and Nbulk are numbers of oxygen atoms in the gas phase, on the sample surface and in the sample bulk, respectively; αg, αS are αbulk 18O atomic fractions in the gas phase, on the sample surface and in the sample bulk, respectively; O(Ng,αg) is a component which depends on the reactor type,
O ( N g , α g ) = { 0   -   static   reactor 1 τ N g α g ξ   -   flow   reactor   ;
R and D are the heteroexchange rate and oxygen tracer diffusion coefficient, respectively, which are assumed to be constant for isothermal isotope exchange (IIE) experiments and dependent on the temperature according to the Arrhenius law for temperature-programmed (TPIE) experiments;
R ( i ) = { R 2 = 0 . 5 R Σ R 1 = R Σ P 16 18 = { 2 α s ( 1 α s )   -   exchange   with   O 2     α g ( 1 α s ) + α s ( 1 α g )   -   exchange   with   CO 2 .
The mathematical models for specific cases of oxygen diffusivity features (e.g., 2D diffusion) can be found in the works [126,127,128].

4. Oxygen and hydrogen mobility of materials for membranes and SOFC

4.1. Perovskites

Perovskite-like oxides are widely used materials for SOFC and permselective membranes components due to their typically high electronic or mixed ionic-electronic conductivity [54,86,87,89,91,99,116,132,133,134]. The general oxygen transport mechanism in perovskites is vacancy mechanism (Figures 2 (a) and 7). Hence, increasing the oxygen vacancy content can increase the oxygen mobility, which can be achieved by doping A- and B-sites with various aliovalent cations [89,135]. The creation of an A-site deficiency also allows for an increase in the oxygen vacancy content, however, it may result in a decrease in their mobility due to their binding to defect complexes such as [   V   La V O ] [89]. For some oxides with distorted perovskite structure, it was demonstrated that significant deviation from oxygen stoichiometry in such materials is accompanied by nanostructuring, at the same time, grain boundaries become fast channel of oxygen transport, while oxygen transport within the grain bulk is slower (Figure 8) [76,77,78,79,80,81].
Conventional strontium doped lanthanum manganite (LSM) materials have poor oxygen mobility (Figure 9), which limits their application as air electrodes in SOFCs with decreased operating temperatures that are being intensively developed [75,136,137]. However, they can be successfully used in the composite electrodes in combination with different ionic conductors [138,139,140]. Lanthanum ferrite-nickelates (LNF), being predominantly electronic conductors, demonstrate low oxygen diffusion and, as a result, oxygen permeation properties [141,142,143,144]. Nevertheless, LaNi0.6Fe0.4O3, as the most stable in the series, found wide application in SOCs due to its superior conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient value, and tolerance to chromium poisoning [145]. It is also successfully used in different composite electrodes for intermediate temperature SOFCs [146,147,148,149], and as a cathode contact materials [150,151]. Materials with mixed oxygen ion and electron conductivity (MIECs), such as Sr doped lanthanum ferrites-nickelates/cobaltites (LSFN, LSFC) possess much higher oxygen mobility (Figure 9) enabling the O reduction reaction (ORR) along both triple and double phase boundaries, thus improving cathode performance, as well as oxygen permeation fluxes across oxygen separation membranes [75,86,87,136,137,152]. Pr nickelates-cobaltites (PNC) stable to carbonation and interaction with electrolyte, which is well-known issue for Sr-doped perovskites with La occupying A-site, possess total conductivity and oxygen diffusivity properties comparable or even exceeding those for LSFN and LSFC [54,62,75,132,153].
Mixed protonic-electronic or triple (H+/O2–/e) conductive perovskites and their composites based on the compositions such as doped Sr/Ba cerates/zirconates are the materials for proton-conducting SOFCs (H-SOFC), including high-performance electrodes with triple-conducting behavior [54,68,70,131,154,155,156,157,158,159,160,161], as well as hydrogen separation membranes [54,91,99,100]. Protons in such perovskites are formed due to the hydrogenation or hydration of oxygen vacancies (Equations (28)-(32)). Therefore, one of the factors providing fine protonic transport properties is a high content of oxygen vacancies. Typical values of the hydrogen tracer diffusion coefficient for doped Ba and Sr cerates are ~10–6 – 10–5 cm2 s–1 at 700 °C (Figure 10) [156,162,163,164].

4.2. Fluorites, bixbyites and rhombohedral phases

Recent research efforts [157,158,159,160,165] have made it possible to increase the grain-boundary conductivity of proton-conducting zirconates with a perovskite structure. At the same time, there is another class of proton-conducting materials, with a fluorite-like structure, which have comparable total and bulk conductivities, whereas the contribution of grain-boundary conductivity is extremely small or zero. This class of materials comprises the following disordered pyrochlores and fluorites based on La compounds:
  • Ca-doped La2Zr2O7 ((La2–xCax)Zr2O7–δ) pyrochlore, a proton conductor in the range of 200–600 °C [166,167];
  • La2Ce2O7 (50% CeO2 + 50% La2O3) fluorite, a proton conductor below 450 °C and an oxygen ion conductor at high temperatures [168]; and
  • fluorite-like La6–xWO12–δ (x = 0 – 0.8), a proton conductor with conductivity up to (3–7)×10–3 S cm–1, at 800 °C and 1 Pa, depending on x [169,170].
Ln tungstates were revealed to have mixed ionic–electronic conductivity with a potential ability of using in solid oxide fuel cells and proton conducting membranes [169,170]. La6–xWO12–δ (x = 0.2–1) solid solutions based on lanthanum tungstate La6WO12 were of particular interest, since they were found to have the highest proton conductivity among the few non-perovskite proton-conducting materials [169,170,171,172,173,174]. La6–xWO12–δ (x = 0.2–1) tungstates can be used as potential solid electrolytes for solid-state fuel cells and proton-conducting membranes for hydrogen separation. An important advantage of lanthanum tungstates over perovskites - acceptor-doped barium and strontium cerates BaCeO3, SrCeO3 - is the absence of interaction with CO2 and SOxwith the formation of carbonates and compounds containing sulphur [171].
Among single-phase materials La6–xWO12–δ(x = 0–0.8), the highest proton conductivity was offered by the La6–xWO12–δ (x = 0.4, 0.5) materials, but subsequent investigation showed that their proton conductivity dropped rather sharply during prolonged holding in wet H2 at 1100 °C, and the most stable materials were La6–xWO12–δ with x = 0.6 and 0.7 [170]. According to Partin et al. [175], who prepared samples by standard solid-state reactions, the most stable solid solution was La6–xWO12–δ with x = 0.4. It seems likely that the problem of low grain-boundary conductivity arises as well in the case of proton-conducting lanthanum tungstates. For example, in studies of the conductivity of La6–xWO12–δ (x = 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) [175], comparison of impedance plots before and after holding in a wet atmosphere showed a marked increase in grain-boundary resistance at 800 – 900 °C. By contrast, in the range 300 – 500 °C the grain-boundary resistance decreased with increasing partial pressure in various atmospheres [170,175]. Since W6+ and Mo6+ are similar in ionic radius, Savvin et al. [176,177] expected to obtain proton-conducting materials based on the Ln6MoO12 (Ln = La – Lu) molybdates. Indeed, they succeed to extend the class of proton-conducting fluorite-like materials by synthesizing new mixed electron–proton-conducting molybdates: La5.8Zr0.2MoO12.1 and Ln5.4Zr0.6MoO12.3 (Ln = Nd, Sm, Dy) [176,177]. Doping with zirconium ensured higher stability of the molybdates to reduction, but as in the case of tungstates [169], Zr was found to be a donor dopant, reducing the proton conductivity of the materials [176]. Among the proton-conducting Ln6–xZrxMoO12+δ (Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Ho; x = 0.2 – 0.6) molybdates, most of which have a fluorite structure (sp. gr. F m 3 ¯ m ), the highest conductivity was offered by a rhombohedral La5.8Zr0.2MoO12.1 phase (sp. gr. R 3 ¯ ), which exhibited total conductivity of 2.5×10–5 S cm–1 at 500 °C (3×10–4 S cm–1 at 800 °C) in wet air [177]. It should be noted that solid solutions based on rare-earth tungstates and molybdates are predominantly oxygen ion conductors in dry air at low temperatures, and predominantly proton conductors in wet air [170,177]. At high temperatures (above 600 °C) in an oxidizing atmosphere (air), charge transport is dominated by p-type conduction, whereas under reducing conditions n-type conduction prevails [170,177]. Doping with Ti, Zr, and Nb on the Mo site and with fluorine on the oxygen site was studied using La5.4MoO11.1 as an example, but essentially all of the dopants reduced ionic conductivity of the material [176,178,179]. A similar situation was observed in La6–xWO12–δ (x = 0.4, 0.5) lanthanum tungstates [169,170,171,172,173,174]. Due to the fact that cation doping [176,178,179,180] decreased the proton conductivity of RE molybdates, the main attention was paid to the study of pure solid solutions based on Ln6MoO12: Ln6−xMoO12−δ (Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Gd–Lu) [127,181,182,183,184,185,186,187,188,189,190,191]. It is known that, to a large extent, the proton conductivity depends on the crystal structure type, and, in this regard, the rich polymorphism of solid solutions based on RE molybdates and tungstates Ln6MO12 (M = Mo, W) should be noted [178,180,182,184,185,188,189,191]. In the series Ln6−xMoO12−δ (Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Gd–Lu), depending on the temperature and lanthanide ionic radii, various structural types are realized: rhombohedral ( R 3 ¯ ) , fluorite ( F m 3 ¯ m ) , and bixbyite ( I a 3 ¯ ) . Proton conductivity was found in various solid solutions based on RE molybdates and it was shown that it reached maximal values for lanthanum molybdates La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 0.5, 0.6) with a complex rhombohedral structure R1 [181,182,190].
Stability of solid solutions based on REE molybdates as well as of lanthanum tungstates La6–xWO12–δ (x = 0 – 0.8) solid solutions, known proton conductors [169,170,171,172,173,174], is an important issue in the perspective of their practical application. As a rule, it is the process of reduction of variable valence cations in solid solutions, which results in a grain-boundary contribution growth, limiting conductivity of the materials in wet atmospheres at high temperatures. The stability of the Ho5.4Zr0.6MoO12.3 fluorite structure and the La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 0.5) fluorite-like rhombohedral structure R1 in extremely dry conditions under dynamic vacuum was investigated by in situ variable temperature neutron diffraction (NDD) between 800 and 1400 °C [184]. The NDD results unambiguously demonstrated the dimensional stability of the fluorite-like rhombohedral La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 0.5) as compared to the Ho5.4Zr0.6MoO12.3 fluorite in the heating - cooling cycle. According to the NDD, heating to 1100°C followed by vacuum cooling does not change the c cell parameter of rhombohedral La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 0.5), whereas its a parameter decreases by 0.13%. It was also found that the a cell parameter of cubic fluorite Ho5.4Zr0.6MoO12.3 decreases by ~2.6%. It may be result of partial reduction of Mo6+ to Mo+5 in RE molybdates. It seems likely that the same cause, i.e., the decrease in cubic cell parameter as a result of partial reduction of W6+ to W+5, accompanied by disordering on the La/W sites, and subsequent formation of a denser atomic packing in the La6-xWO12-δ (x = 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) lanthanum tungstates, underlies their relatively low stability [175,177,192,193,194]. We believe that the loss of dimensional stability under reducing conditions in the Ln6MO12 (M = Mo, W) - based solid solutions, which results in a grain-boundary contribution, limiting their conductivity in wet atmospheres, is due to partial reduction of Mo6+ and W6+ in the rare-earth molybdates and tungstates, respectively [184].
Follow-up study of the structure of La-containing molybdates La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 0.5, 0.6) shown that they have a new structure type based on rhombohedral cell, which has been discussed in series of papers [178,182,184,185,188,189,191]. Along with main peaks of R 3 ¯ [184] or R 3 ¯ m [188] structure, additional lines present. These are superstructure lines typical of complex crystallographic cells whose parameters are increased by seven (R1) or five (R2)) times according to López-Vergara et al.[188]. A. López-Vergara et al. [182] reported that, depending on the cooling rate, the La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 0.6) solid solution can be obtained either in the form of a complex rhombohedral modification R1 (slow cooling) or in the form of fluorite (quenching), which agrees with the high-temperature experiment in vacuum for La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 0.5) [184]. It also turned out that R1 phase La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 0.6) has better oxygen-ion and proton conductivity than that of fluorite [182,188]. The decrease in the lanthanum concentration led to decrease in the rhombohedral distortion degree and to the decrease in the contribution of proton conductivity in the series La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 1) [190]. The proton conductivity for the optimal composition of La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 0.5) was ~5×10–5 S cm–1 at 500 °C in wet air, while for La6−xMoO12−δ (x = 1) ~9×10–6 S cm–1 (Figure 11 (a)) [30].
A tendency towards a decrease in the proton conductivity contribution for the rare-earth (RE) molybdates Ln6−xMoO12−δ (Ln = La-Yb) series has been established. For heavy RE molybdates, the conditions for the synthesis of new proton conductors with a bixbyite structure (Figure 11 (b)) were found for the first time [181,183,185,187,191], and the bixbyite structure type was first presented in the ICDD PDF crystallographic database (Er6MoO12−δ (No. I11624) and Tm6MoO12-δ δ (No. I11626)). It was found that with decreasing of the Ln2O3 content by 1.8 mol.%, fluorites Ln5.5MoO11.25−δ (Ln = Er, Tm) are formed under the same conditions (Figure 11 (c)) [191].
Fluorites and bixbyites turned out to be mixed electron-oxygen conductors in dry air and electron-proton conductors in wet air, while the dominant ionic contribution maintains up to 550–600 °С [127,181,185]. In wet air Er and Tm fluorites and bixbyites had a close total conductivity of ~2×10–6 S cm–1 at 500 °C, but at 200 °C, bixbyites performed better than that of fluorites. The using of the isotope exchange with С18O2 made it possible to confirm the high mobility of oxygen in these compounds in air, starting from 200 °С (Figure 12) [191]. A high or at least intermediate oxygen mobility was demonstrated for other fluorites and bixbyites (in some cases due to defect features such as grain boundaries effect resulting in a fast oxygen diffusion along grain boundaries (2D diffusion)), while rhombohedral phases possess lower oxygen mobility (Figure 12) [54,62,127,185,191,195].
It is of interest to note that the existence of compounds and solid solutions with close composition, differing by only a few mole percent, but having different structure, is typical for the Ln2O3–Mo(W)O3 (Ln = La, Nd, Pr, Sm) systems [196,197,198]. For example, in the Pr2O3 – MoO3 and Nd2O3-MoO3 systems at 1000 °C, the compounds with Ln2O3:MoO3 (Ln = Pr, Nd) molar ratios of 5: 6 and 7: 8 differ in composition by just ~3 mol.% [196]. According to Chambrier et al. [197,198], cubic solid solutions based on La10W2O21 free of La2O3 and La6W2O15 impurities exist up to ~1700 °С in a narrow composition range, 26–30 mol% WO3, and La10W2O21 exact composition is 28.6 mol %WO3+71.4 mol% La2O3. La6WO12 contains 25 mol% WO3. Thus, in the Ln2O3–WO3 system, La6WO12 and La10W2O21 differ in composition by just 3.6 mol% WO3.
Doped ceria materials being typically pure ionic conductors in air and MIECs in reducing atmospheres are generally used as SOFC electrolytes or components of composites for SOFC electrodes and oxygen separation membranes [33,35,38,52,53,62,75,91,94,199]. For using ceria as electrode or membrane material itself, the electronic component of conductivity should be increased. This can be achieved by doping with cations possessing redox activity such as Pr4+/3+ and Tb4+/3+ [94,199]. Doping with Pr leads to an increase in oxygen mobility and surface reactivity as well due to the formation of ordered chains of Pr4+/3+ cations [75,200,201]. For Tb-doped ceria, it was demonstrated that it possesses a high oxygen heteroexchange rate comparable with that for Gd-doped ceria [199,201]. On the other hand, it was demonstrated that oxygen mobility of Ce1-xTbxO2-δ (x = 0, 0.2 and 0.5) decreases with increasing Tb content probably due to interaction between defects resulting in forming local associates [202,203]. Nevertheless, the oxygen permeability of membranes based on some Pr- and Tb-doped ceria was comparable to that for similar membranes based on perovskites such as LFN and LSFC [94,199]. Figure 13 demonstrates comparison of the oxygen tracer diffusion coefficient values of MIEC doped ceria materials.

4.3. Ruddlesden – Popper phases

The Ruddlesden – Popper (RP) phases with a general formula of (AO)(ABO3)n or An+1BnO3n+1 consist of the perovskite layers ABO3-δ alternating with the rock salt layers A2O2+δ [62,64,67,75,87,123,204,205,206,207]. The important feature of RP phases, which makes them attractive SOFC cathodes and oxygen separation membranes materials, is a fine oxygen transport provided via cooperative mechanism of oxygen migration. In this case, both lattice and interstitial oxide anions accumulating in a high extent are involved in the process of oxygen transport (Figure 14) [54,62,64,67,75,123,204,207,208,209,210,211,212,213,214]. This allows to reach superior oxygen mobility compared to other MIECs (Figure 15). On the other hand, doping with alkaline earth metals (Ca, Sr, Ba), which significantly improves total conductivity, leads to an apparent decrease in the oxygen tracer diffusion coefficient values due to a decrease in the interstitial oxygen content and a larger size of dopant cations resulting in steric hindrances for the oxygen transport [206,207,209,215,216,217]. In some cases, it leads to the formation of slow diffusion channels with complicated pathways (Figure 14). The fraction of oxygen involved in the oxygen slow diffusion channel increases with increasing the cation-dopant radius in a row of Ca, Sr, Ba. With decreasing the host Ln cation size in the row of Ln = La, Pr, Nd, this effect becomes less pronounced. Introducing A-site deficiency can slightly increase oxygen diffusivity [54,75,209,218,219,220]. Doping La2NiO4+δ with other lanthanides (Nd, Sm, Gd, Eu, etc.) can slightly increase or decrease the oxygen mobility as well [221,222]. The information on the effect of doping RP nickelates in B-site with such cations as Cu on the oxygen transport properties is still lacking and controversial. The oxygen diffusivity can increase while doping with Cu due to elongation of Ni/Cu–O bonds [223,224] and anomalous grain growth due to Cu-rich liquid phase presence during sintering [225]; it can decrease due to decreasing the oxygen content [226,227]; a non-monotonous dependence can be observed as well [228].
The RP phases of higher orders, different from the first-order ones being overstoichometric and accumulating large amount of highly-mobile interstitial oxygen, tend to be hypostoichiometric. Hence, they contain less amounts of interstitial oxygen in the rock salt layers and more oxygen vacancies in the perovskite layers. As a result, the oxygen diffusivity of the higher-order RP phases is lower compared to that for the first-order RP phases (Figure 16). For these materials the contribution of the oxygen vacancy migration in the perovskite layers into the diffusion mechanism becomes predominant [207,229,230,231,232,233].
It was also reported [233] that some RP phases possess proton mobility, which results in accelerating the cathodic reaction process in H-SOFCs. Proton migration is believed to be implemented via Grotthuss mechanism (Figure 3 (b)). It includes two main pathways, namely, the inner-layer migration within the perovskite structure and the inter-layer migration between neighboring perovskite layers across the rock sat layer [233].

4.4. Pyrochlores

Pyrochlore structure A2B2O7 is a derivative of the fluorite structure in which a half of cubes are replaced by octahedra (more precisely, it consists of the alternating AO8 polyhedra and BO6 trigonal antiprisms). Pyrochlores possessing a high mixed ionic-electronic conductivity such as doped Pr2Zr2O7, Gd2Ti2O7, Er2RuMnO7, etc. are used in SOFC cathodes [128,234,235], oxygen [236,237,238] and hydrogen separation membranes [239,240]. They contain high amounts of oxygen vacancies providing fine oxygen transport characteristics. Some pyrochlores contain interstitial oxide anions formed due to Frenkel disordering
O O × = V O   ( 48 f ) +   O   i   ( 8 a )
involved in the oxygen diffusion as well [97]. There are two forms of oxygen in the pyrochlore structure (O, O’), which content ratio is 6:1. However, according to TPIE C18O2 studies [55,62,128,238,241,242,243], the oxygen bulk mobility is uniform, or, in the case of its nonuniformity, the ratio of various oxygen forms differing in their mobility differs from 6:1. This makes evidence that the oxygen migration mechanism is rather complex and includes the oxygen of both O- and O’-sublattices. It was proposed as well that the oxygen forms differing in their mobility can be associated with A–O–A, A–O–B and B–O–B migration pathways with their fraction depending on the partial disordering of the pyrochlore structure [128,238]. The other feature of some pyrochlores (Mg-doped Sm and Gd zirconates) is the fast oxygen transport along grain boundaries being characterized by a very high mobility (D* ~10–7 cm2 s–1 at 1000 K) [128]. The comparison of the oxygen mobility of some pyrochlores is given in Figure 17.
Shimura et al. [244] studied the proton conductivity of Ln2Zr2O7-based (Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Gd и Er) pyrochlore oxides and found that the conductivity of the Ln2Zr1.8Y0.2O7-δ (Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Gd и Er) solid solutions in a hydrogen atmosphere at T > 600 °C was comparable to that of perovskites. The effect of alkaline earth cation (Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba) and Y substitutions for both the La and Zr sites in pyrochlore La2Zr2O7 on its proton conductivity was studied in details in [166,167,244,245]. The highest proton conductivity was obtained by substituting Ca and Sr for La. The conductivity of (La1.97Ca0.03)Zr2O7-δ between 600 and 700 °C was determined to be 4×10–4 S cm–1 [166]. It is important to note that the degree of Ca substitution in such solid solutions is low, no higher than x = 0.05 in (La2-xCax)Zr2O7-δ. Eurenius et al. [246,247] recently studied the proton conductivity of rare-earth stannates and titanates with the pyrochlore structure: A2-xCaxSn2O7-x/2 (A = La, Sm, Yb) and Sm2Ti1.92Y0.08O7-δ, Sm1.92Ca0.08Ti2O7-δ. The conductivity of the A-site acceptor substituted pyrochlores was about one order of magnitude higher than that of the B-site substituted materials. On the other hand, the conductivity clearly depended on the nature of the B-site cation: an increase in the ionic radius and electronegativity of the B-site cation was accompanied by an increase in conductivity. The proton conductivity of the samarium titanate-based solid solutions and, especially that of the rare-earth stannates was found to be lower than that of the Ca-doped La2Zr2O7.
Calcium and strontium doped lanthanum zirconates, La2-xDxZr2O7-δ (x = 0.05, 0.1; D = Ca, Sr) were extensively studied as electrolyte materials for proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (PC-SOFCs) [166,245,248,249,250]. Calcium appears to be the most promising dopant because strontium doping results in the formation of a second phase, SrZrO3 with a perovskite structure, on the surface of strontium-containing zirconate ceramics [249] and, more importantly, because the overall conductivity of strontium-containing ceramics is an order of magnitude lower than that of calcium-containing ceramics. It was reported that pyrochlore solid solutions La1.95Ca0.05Zr2O6.95 and La1.9Ca0.1Zr2O6.9 were almost identical in proton conductivity [166,248]: 7.0×10–4 S cm–1 at 600°C. As was shown earlier [251], the proton conductivity of Sm2-xCaxZr2O7-δ (x = 0.05) at 600°C is ~7.5×10–4 S cm–1 [251].
Gas-tight proton-conducting Nd2-xCaxZr2O7-δ (x = 0, 0.05) ceramics were prepared for the first time via mechanical activation of the oxide mixture, followed by the single-step firing at 1600 °C for 3 or 10 h [252]. Like in the case of (Ln1-xCax)2Zr2O7-x (Ln = La, Sm; x = 0.05) pyrochlore solid solutions, the unit-cell parameter of the Ca-doped material Nd2-xCaxZr2O7-δ (x = 0.05) was smaller than that of the undoped Nd2Zr2O7. The Rietveld-refined XRD data demonstrated that Ca substitutes on both cation sites of zirconate and that most of the Ca cations resides in the Zr sublattice. As a result, the total conductivity of Nd2-xCaxZr2O7-δ (x = 0.05) in wet air was lower than that of the (Ln1-xCax)2Zr2O7-x (Ln = La, Sm; x =0.05) pyrochlores, where Ca substituted predominantly on the Ln site. The proton conductivity in wet air was 3×10-4 S cm–1 at 500 °C (7×10–4 S cm–1 at 600 °C) in (La1-xCax)2Zr2O7-x (x = 0.05), 7×10–5 S cm–1 at 500 °C (~2×10–4 S cm–1 at 600 °C) in (Nd1-xCax)2Zr2O7-x (x = 0.05), and 1×10–4 S cm–1 at 500 °C (7.5×10–4 S cm–1 at 600 °C) in (Sm1-xCax)2Zr2O7-x (x = 0.05). Even though the total conductivity of the Ca-doped zirconate Nd2-xCaxZr2O7-δ (x = 0.05) was an order of magnitude higher than that of Nd2Zr2O7, predominant Ca substitution on the Zr site leads to a lower proton conductivity in comparison with that of (Ln1-xCax)2Zr2O7-x (Ln = La, Sm; x =0.05), where all of the Ca cations resided on the Ln site. It is also possible that this result was due to the higher firing temperature: the (Ln1-xCax)2Zr2O7-x (Ln = La, Sm; x =0.05) materials were prepared by firing at 1550 °C for 10–50 h [166,251], whereas a higher firing temperature of 1600 °C (3 and 10 h) was chosen for (Nd1-xCax)2Zr2O7-x (x = 0.05) in order to obtain gas-tight ceramics.

4.5. Composites

A promising approach in the design of materials for SOFC and permselective membranes is the synthesis of composites comprised of both an electronic-conductive or MIEC material and an ionic conductive material [54,62,102,137,153,195,253]. The ionic-conductive component applied can be fluorite [54,64,133,254,255,256,257,258,259], pyrochlore [54,64,75], spinel [54,260], etc. Such an approach allows to combine the features of the components such as a high electronic conductivity of one component and a high ionic conductivity of other component and even acquire new characteristics due to the synergetic effect of both phases such as a fast oxide ionic transport across the interfaces or fast diffusion channels (Figure 18) [54,75,153]. For example, for PrNi1-xCoxO3 – Ce0.9Y0.1O1.95 (x = 0.4 – 0.6) such a fast channel corresponds to the interfaces and the fluorite-like phase due to the redistribution of cations, namely, the incorporation of Pr3+/4+ cations into the doped ceria structure [54,64,75,153,259].
However, using composites not always results in improving all transport properties. Thus, for the composites based on Pr1.9NiO4+δ and solid electrolytes (Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95, Y2(Ti0.8Zr0.2)1.6Mn0.4O7-δ) a decrease in the oxygen tracer diffusion coefficient values compared to the individual Pr1.9NiO4+δ material was reported, which is probably explained by the incorporation of the cations from the electrolyte into the RP structure leading to hampering the cooperative mechanism of oxygen migration mentioned above [62]. For the composites (Nd,La)5.5(W,M)O11.25-δ – Ni0.5Cu0.5O a decrease in the oxygen tracer diffusion coefficient values compared to the individual defective fluorites was probably due to blocking the fluorite phase surface by Ni (II) – Cu (II) oxide nanoparticles possessing a low oxygen mobility, as well as the formation of admixture phases [195].

4.6. Other materials

The group of promising materials recently studied in the application as low- and intermediate-temperature SOFC cathodes (including H-SOFC) as well as oxygen separation membranes are double perovskites A2B2O6-δ or A2B2O5+δ (A = La, Pr, Ca, Ba, etc., B = Mg, Mo, Sn, Fe, etc.) [54,64,75,132,133,156,261,262,263]. Double perovskites are attractive because they can accommodate a large amount of nonstoichiometric oxygen, as well as have a wide variation in the effective charge of the B-site cations, have high redox stability and moderate values of the thermal expansion coefficient. Along with this, they possess very high oxygen (D* ~ 10–8 – 10–7 cm2 s–1 at 700 °C) and, in some cases, hydrogen mobility (D* ~ 10–6 cm2 s–1 at 500 °C) [67,156,264]. The other promising perovskite-based layered materials to be mentioned here are triple [265,266], quadruple [267] and even quintuple perovskites [268].
Some MIEC spinels such as MnxCo3-xO4 [54,269], Fe0.6Mn0.6Co0.6Ni0.6Cr0.6O4 [270], LaFe2O4 [234] can be utilized as cathode materials for SOFCs, including proton-conducting cells, due to a high activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). MnFe2O4 spinel and its composite with Gd-doped ceria are used for the fabrication of oxygen permeable protecting (buffer) layer of asymmetric supported oxygen separation membranes [52,54,55,75,259].
Various types of oxide materials, which possess ionic conductivity due to cooperative oxygen migration mechanisms involving cooperative motion of some forms of oxygen, can be used as SOFC electrolytes or, as a composite with electronically conductive or MIEC materials, as SOFC electrodes and oxygen separation membranes (or their permselective layers). Amongst these materials, doped La silicates/germanates with the apatite structure [62,75,91,93,271] (Figure 19), alkaline-earth metal doped La gallates with β-K2SO4 structure (Figure 20) [91,93,272], alkaline-earth metal ferrites, cobaltites, aluminates, gallates and indates with a brownmillerite structure (Figure 21) [91,93,273,274], M3-xM’xTi2NbO10−δ (M = Na, Ca, Cs; M = Bi, Ln, Rb) with a Dion–Jacobson-type layered perovskite structure [275,276,277], etc. [54,62,64,75] are to be mentioned. Mayenites based on Ca12Al7O33 possessing a high oxygen mobility due to the fast transport of weakly bound intracellular ‘free’ oxygen (Figure 22) are to be mentioned as well [91,93,95,96,278]. Mayenite possessing generally oxide ionic type of conductivity doped with Si allows to increase electronic conductivity, which is necessary for the cathode application [54,279]. It is to be noted that these materials, including apatites, brownmillerites, mayenites, etc., possess a high protonic conductivity [91,273,280,281], hence, they can be used in H-SOFCs and hydrogen separation membranes as well. E.g., mayenites possess a high hydrogen diffusivity which is implemented by vehicle and Grotthuss mechanisms including OH migration and reorientation of O–H bonds to jump between neighboring oxygen species in (O–H–O)3– transition states (Figure 23) as well as hydrogen jumps in a form of hydride H (Figure 24) and non-charged H0 [281].
Swedenborgite-like RBaCo4-xMxO7 (R = Y, Ca, In, Lu, Yb, etc., M = Co, Zn, Fe, Al, Ga) phases were demonstrated to be potential cathodes for low-temperature SOFCs due to their low thermal expansion and excellent electrochemical performance; however, their phase decomposition at elevated temperatures of 700–800 °C limited their application [64,133,282,283].
Other materials with low thermal expansion coefficient values, high total conductivity and fine oxygen transport properties to be mentioned as candidate SOFC cathodes are yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 [54,133,284], misfit layered Ca3Co4O9-based phases [285,286,287,288,289,290], and Aurivillius oxides (Bi2O2)(Am-1BmO3m+1) (A = Na+, K+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Pb2+, Bi3+, etc.; B = Ti4+, Nb5+, Ta5+, etc.) [291,292]. The Aurivillius oxide Bi2Sr2Nb2MnO12-δ is notable to demonstrate an excellent chemical stability (including CO2 tolerance) as well. Ca3Co4O9 demonstrates fast surface exchange kinetics (k* = 1.6 × 10−7 cm s−1 at 700 °C to be compared to 1.3 × 10−7 cm s−1 for the nickelate) [293], and is promising for air cathodes used in all type SOFCs, H-SOFCs and reversible cells, individually or in composites with protonics [294], ionics [295] and MIECs [296].
Alkaline earth metal doped lanthanide niobates with sheelite, defective perovskite, monoclinic and tetragonal structures possess ionic (protonic and/or oxide-ionic), electronic or mixed ionic-electronic conductivity [62,297,298,299,300,301,302,303]. They can be used as a component of the composites for hydrogen separation membranes such as (La,Ca)NbO4–La3NbO7, (La,Ca)NbO4–LaNb3O9 and (La,Ca)NbO4–NiCu [62,297,298,299,300,301,302,303].
Figure 25 demonstrates the oxygen mobility of some non-conventional materials for SOFCs and permselective membranes.
Metals and their alloys, which are able to intercalate and transport proton as a defect (Figure 3 (a)), are widely used for hydrogen separation membranes. Precious metals such as Pt, Pd, Ru, Ag and their alloys are conventionally used as hydrogen separation membrane materials. They possess absolute selectivity with the respect to hydrogen, however, they are too expensive and have issues with stability under operating conditions [48,54,55,99,100,304,305,306]. As an alternative to precious metals, Ni and its alloys being cheap but also possessing a high mixed protonic-electronic conductivity can be used in hydrogen separation membranes in an individual form or as a component of cermet composites [54,55,90,195,307,308]. V and its alloys with Ni, Cu, V, Nb, Ta and other metals are promising materials showing high hydrogen permeation fluxes exceeding those for Pd-based membranes and having lower cost [54,307,308,309]. The comparison of the hydrogen self-diffusion coefficient values of various metals and alloys is given in Figure 26.

5. Importance of oxygen and hydrogen transport properties for the performance of membranes and SOFCs

5.1. Oxygen separation membranes

High oxygen mobility and surface reactivity as well as a high electronic conductivity are the crucial characteristics of oxygen separation membrane materials required for achieving high oxygen permeation fluxes. The oxygen bulk diffusion enables oxide ions’ pathway across the membrane, while the oxygen surface exchange enables oxygen adsorption/desorption. Since the oxide ions’ transport across the membrane is coupled with the electron transport, a high electronic conductivity is required as well (Figure 27). This allows to use such membranes for pure oxygen production as well as a part of catalytic membrane reactors for fuels transformation reactions [52,54,62,75,94,310,311,312,313,314,315].
The oxygen permeation flux across the membrane ( j O 2 ) obeys the Wagner equation:
j O 2 = R T 16 F 2 L ln P O 2 I ln P O 2 I I σ O σ e l σ O + σ e l d ln P O 2 ,
where F is the Faraday constant, L is the membrane thickness, P O 2 I and P O 2 I I are the oxygen partial pressures at the different sites of the membrane, σO and σel are oxide-ionic and electronic conductivity, respectively [94]. In MIEC materials, σO << σel. If the ionic conductivity is constant across the entire membrane thickness, the Equation (44) can be simplified as follows:
j O 2 R T 16 F 2 L σ O ln P O 2 I I P O 2 I .
For MIEC membrane materials with oxygen nonstoichiometry depending on the oxygen partial pressure proportional to P O 2 n , the Nernst – Einstein equation of their ionic conductivity (Equation (4)) can be re-written as follows:
σ O = 4 F 2 R T V m D V δ 0 P O 2 n ,
where δ0 is the nonstoichiometric oxygen at the reference oxygen pressure (1 atm), Vm is the molar volume of the oxide. Combining this with the Equation (44) and assuming σO << σel one can obtain Sievert’s law:
Preprints 77936 g033
where A = D V δ 0 4 V m n .
Considering the effect of the surface exchange of oxygen, the Wagner equation (45) is transformed into the modified Wagner equation introduced by Bouwmeester et al. [316]:
j O 2 = 1 1 + 2 L C L R T 16 F 2 L σ O ln P O 2 I I P O 2 I .
where LC is the characteristic thickness (Equation (33)).
Several models are used to model the membrane performance based on the membrane material oxygen mobility and surface reactivity, electronic conductivity, and other characteristics, such as Jacobson’s model [94], Xu and Thomson’s model [94,317], Zhu’s model [94,314,315]. E.g., Zhu’s model (Figure 28) is based on the Wagner equation and takes into account the area-specific resistance of membrane surfaces at the air and purge sides (r’ and r’’, respectively), which are proportional to the reciprocal oxygen surface exchange constant, and the membrane bulk (rb), which is proportional to the reciprocal oxygen self-diffusion coefficient.
In the case of a multi-layer asymmetric supported membrane, the characteristics of each layer should be taken into account along with the properties of gas-phase diffusion in a porous support [54,62,318,319,320]. However, gas-phase phenomena are out of scope of this review.

5.2. Hydrogen separation membranes

Similar to the oxygen separation membranes, a high hydrogen mobility and surface reactivity as well as a high electronic conductivity are required for hydrogen separation membrane materials. This allows to reach high hydrogen permeation fluxes for obtaining pure hydrogen including its production in catalytic membrane reactors for fuel transformation reactions [41,54,62,170,236,304,305,321,322,323,324]. There are advantages in using triple (H+/O2–/e) conducting materials for hydrogen separation membranes since the presence of oxide-ionic component of the conductivity can enable the following features:
  • Some proton transport mechanisms being mediated by oxygen transport as mentioned in the Section 2.2 [101,102,104];
  • Oxide ions counterpermeation across the membrane allows to increase the hydrogen yield due to the water splitting reaction [324,325,326];
  • Triple conductivity allows to enhance the performance in various catalytic reactions and to improve gas separation properties due to the coupled transport of all types of mobile species forcing them to be transported against its chemical potential gradient [327,328,329].
The processes in the triple-conductive hydrogen separation membrane are illustrated in Figure 29.
For dense metallic membranes, hydrogen concentration in metal is proportional to P H 2 0.5 [323]. Similar to MIEC oxides with the variation of oxygen nonstoichiometry on the oxygen partial pressure (Equation (47)), the Sievert’s law can be obtained:
j H 2 = ( P e L ) ( ( P H 2 I ) n ( P H 2 I I ) n ) ,
where
P e = 0.5 D H K s
is the hydrogen permeability, P H 2 I and P H 2 I I are hydrogen partial pressures in retentate and permeate gases, respectively, n is the exponent which in ideal case is equal to 0.5 (for real membranes it lies in the range of ~0.5 – 1), Ks is the hydrogen solubility constant (Sievert’s constant) [322,323,330].
For ceramic membranes containing only protonic-electronic conductors, the Wagner equation can be written as follows:
j H 2 = R T 4 F 2 L ln P H 2 I ln P H 2 I I σ H σ e l σ H + σ e l d ln P H 2 ,
where σH is the proton conductivity [99,322,331]. Since proton and electronic conductivity may depend on P H 2 , the result of integrating in the Equation (51) can be different. Assuming σH << σel and σH is proportional to P H 2 n , there are limiting cases which can be considered:
  • n = 0.5, when protons are minority defects, then j H 2 = R T 2 F 2 L σ H , 0 ( ( P H 2 I ) 0.5 ( P H 2 I I ) 0.5 ) ,
  • n = 0.25, when protons are majority defects compensated by electrons, then j H 2 = R T F 2 L σ H , 0 ( ( P H 2 I ) 0.25 ( P H 2 I I ) 0.25 ) ;
  • n = 0, when protons are majority defects compensated by acceptor dopants, then j H 2 = R T 4 F 2 L σ H , 0 ln ( P H 2 I I P H 2 I ) [99,322,332,333,334].
In the case of a cermet membrane, the equation for its hydrogen permeation flux combines those for the ceramic (Equation (51)) and metallic (Equation (49)) components:
j H 2 = ( x c e r a m R T 4 F 2 L ln P H 2 I ln P H 2 I I σ H σ e l σ H + σ e l d ln P H 2 + ( 1 x c e r a m ) ( P e m e t a l L ) ( ( P H 2 I ) n ( P H 2 I I ) n ) ) ,
where xceram is the volume fraction of the ceramic component, Pemetal is the permeability of the metallic component [321].
For triple-conductive membranes, the oxide-ionic component of the conductivity should be accounted [324,334]:
j H 2 = R T 8 F 2 L I I I σ H ( 2 σ O + σ e l σ H + σ O + σ e l d ln P H 2 + σ O σ H + σ O + σ e l d ln P O 2 ) ,
Preprints 77936 g034
j H 2 = R T 4 F 2 L σ H + σ e l σ H + σ O + σ e l ln P H 2 I P H 2 I I + R T 8 F 2 L σ O + σ e l σ H + σ O + σ e l ln P O 2 I I P O 2 I .
In the case of the asymmetric supported hydrogen separation membrane, more complex description is required since mass and heat transfer phenomena take place in the gas phase in the layers of the porous support. Gas-phase mass transport certainly affects the membrane performance or even can determine its characteristics [54], [99], [335], [336], [337]. However, gas-phase phenomena are out of scope of this review.

5.3. Solid oxide fuel cells

By selecting solid oxide fuel cell materials with a high oxygen and/or hydrogen mobility, the fuel cell operating temperature can be lowered while maintaining or even increasing the power output. A high oxide-ionic or/and proton conductivity of the electrolyte reduces its resistance which is a predominant component of the ohmic losses of the cell [40,52,62,75,91,233,338]. Figure 30 demonstrates SOFCs with oxide-ionic, protonic and dual (oxide-ionic + protonic) conductive electrolytes.
Using the electrode materials with pure electronic conductivity leads to limiting the electrode process by the electrode – electrolyte – gas phase triple-phase boundary (TPB) (Figure 31 (a)). The ionic (oxide-ionic or/and protonic) component of the electronic conductivity allows the electrode process to take place on the electrode – gas phase double-phase boundary (DPB) (Figure 31 (b)). This results in the improvement of the electrode reaction kinetics [52,54,55,57,58,59,60,62,75,233,339].

6. Conclusions and perspectives

In this review, the importance of oxygen and hydrogen mobility for the performance of solid oxide fuel cells, oxygen and hydrogen separation membranes is marked. Detailed studies of ionic transport characteristics using modern techniques such as temperature-programmed isotope exchange of oxygen with C18O2, etc. widen the possibility of design of state-of-the-art materials for these applications. One of the interesting approaches in creating the materials for these devices is related to triple-conductive (H+ + O2– + e) oxides and composites, which may demonstrate better characteristics compared to the conventional mixed O2– + e or H+ + econductive materials.
Selecting solid oxide fuel cell materials with a high oxygen and/or hydrogen mobility allows to decrease the fuel cell operating temperature and increase its power density due to reducing the electrolyte resistance and enabling the electrode processes to take place on the electrode - gas phase double-phase boundary and be not limited by the electrode – electrolyte – gas phase triple-phase boundary. This opens new perspectives in the solid oxide fuel cells design and manufacturing.
Mixed ionic-electronic conductive materials for permselective membranes with a high oxygen and hydrogen mobility as well as a high electronic conductivity allows obtaining high permeation fluxes of oxygen and hydrogen, respectively. Along with this, the presence of oxygen component of the conductivity of hydrogen separation membrane materials allows to increase the hydrogen yield. This opens the opportunity for creating new membrane materials followed by their selection for the prospective practical use based on their superior transport properties.
