Article Abstract
We explored oxygen-ion transport in highly doped CeO through density-functional theory calculations. By applying biaxial strain to 18.75 mol % CeO:Gd, we predicted the average migration-barrier energy with six different pathways, with results in good agreement with those of experiments. Additionally, we found that the migration-barrier energy could be lowered by increasing the tetrahedron volume, including the space occupied by the oxygen vacancy. Our results indicate that the tetrahedron volume can be expanded by larger codopants, as well as biaxial tensile strain. Thus, the combination of thin-film structure and codoping could offer a new approach to accelerate oxygen-ion transport.

Reversible solid oxide cells (R-SOCs) are promising for energy applications but face limitations due to poor durability and slow oxygen-reduction/evolution reactions at air electrodes. Here, a high-entropy perovskite-based (HEP) tri-phase composite, (LaSrPrBaCe)CoO, comprising an A-site deficient LaSrPrBaCeCoO, doped-CeO, and CoO phases are presented. The HEP phase provides catalytic sites and robust frameworks, the doped-CeO phase enhances oxygen-ion transport; and the CoO nanoparticles offer additional active sites.

Dopant size is known to influence oxygen vacancy-mediated conduction pathways and ionic conductivity in doped ceria, yet the underlying atomic-scale mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we combine neutron total scattering and large-scale atomistic simulations to analyze the local defect structures of two representative doped ceria systems: CeGdO (GDC) and CeNdO (NDC). The local structure of GDC, a commercially used ion conductor, is investigated for the first time using neutron total scattering on Gd-enriched samples.

Reversible protonic ceramic cells facilitate efficient chemical-electrical energy interconversion, advancing renewable energy utilization. Commercial viability, however, demands intermediate-to-low temperatures (ILT, 400-600 °C) operation, currently constrained by air electrode performance. A-site ordered layered perovskite PrBaSrCoFeO (PBSCF) promises, yet faces activity and stability issues at ILT.

Oxide-ion conductors based on tetrahedral anion-related oxides have attracted considerable attention due to their high oxygen-ion conductivity and potential applications in clean energy devices, such as solid-state fuel cells. In this study, we report the improvement of oxide-ion conductivity by Sr doping in isolated tetrahedral zircon-type PrVO. It is found that PrSrVO features the highest oxide-ion conductivity of 2.
