crystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia at low temperatures (Kim et al. Adv. Mater., 2008, 20,
556). Based on careful analysis of electrical impedance spectra obtained from samples with
grain sizes of∼ 13 and∼ 100 nm under both wet and dry atmospheres over a wide range of
temperatures (room temperature–500° C), we were able to identify the pathway for proton
conduction in this material. It was found that the grain boundaries in nano-crystalline yttria …
