The crystallographic structure of solid electrolytes and other materials determines the protonic conductivity in devices such as fuel cells, ionic-conductors, and supercapacitors. Experiments show that a rise of the temperature in a narrow interval may lead to a sudden increase of several orders of magnitude of the conductivity of some materials, a process called a superprotonic transition. Here, we use a novel macro-transport theory for irregular domains to show that the change of entropic restrictions associated with solid–solid phase or structural transitions controls the sudden change of the ionic conductivity when the superprotonic transition takes place. Specifically, we deduce a general formula for the temperature dependence on the ionic conductivity that fits remarkably well experimental data of superprotonic transitions in doped cesium phosphates and other materials reported in the literature.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
