Investigating proton motion in battery and hydrogen storage materials

Abstract: Our research team have an ongoing project investigating ion diffusion processes in solid electrolyte and hydrogen storage materials. In terms of the former, we have been investigating the development of new electrolytes for solid state Lithium ion batteries. In these systems it has also been shown that ready exchange of Lithium ions for protons can occur, with the exchanged materials showing comparable ionic conduction, thus indicating significant proton conduction. In terms of our work on hydrogen storage materials, we have been investigating the correlation between ion conduction and the temperatures at which dehydrogenation/rehydrogenation will occur. The aim of this experiment is to use quasielastic neutron scattering to gather detailed information on the conduction of protons in these systems, with a view to improving our understanding of these complex systems.
