Harnessing High‐Throughput Computational Methods to Accelerate the Discovery of Optimal Proton Conductors for High‐Performance and Durable Protonic Ceramic Electrochemical Cells
Abstract
The pursuit of high‐performance and long‐lasting protonic ceramic electrochemical cells (PCECs) is impeded by the lack of efficient and enduring proton conductors. Conventional research approaches, predominantly based on a trial‐and‐error methodology, have proven to be demanding of resources and time‐consuming. Here, this work reports the findings in harnessing high‐throughput computational methods to expedite the discovery of optimal electrolytes for PCECs. This work methodically computes the oxygen vacancy formation energy (E V ), hydration energy (E H ), and the adsorption energies of H 2 O and CO 2 for a set of 932 oxide candidates. Notably, these findings highlight BaSn x Ce 0.8‐x Yb 0.2 O 3‐δ (BSCYb) as a prospective game‐changing contender, displaying superior proton conductivity and chemical resilience when compared to the well‐regarded BaZr x Ce 0.8‐x Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3‐δ (BZCYYb) series. Experimental validations substantiate the computational predictions; PCECs incorporating BSCYb as the electrolyte achieved extraordinary peak power densities in the fuel cell mode (0.52 and 1.57 W cm −2 at 450 and 600 °C, respectively), a current density of 2.62 A cm −2 at 1.3 V and 600 °C in the electrolysis mode while demonstrating exceptional durability for over 1000‐h when exposed to 50% H 2 O. This research underscores the transformative potential of high‐throughput computational techniques in advancing the field of proton‐conducting oxides for sustainable power generation and hydrogen production.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
