There are several strategies to enhance ionic conductivity in catalytic materials:
Doping: Introducing dopants into the crystal lattice can create vacancies or interstitial sites that facilitate ion movement. Nanostructuring: Reducing the material to the nanoscale can increase the surface area and provide more pathways for ion conduction. Composite Materials: Combining materials with different ionic conductivities can create a synergistic effect, leading to enhanced overall conductivity. Optimizing Operating Conditions: Conditions such as temperature and humidity can be optimized to improve ionic mobility.
