Research on rare-earth silicate apatites, that show potential as electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells, performed in part on our KOALA Laue Diffractometer, has just appeared in the prestigious chemistry journal, Journal of the American Chemical Society. The work was led by researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and involved collaborators from other institutes in Singapore, Spain, the UK and Germany, along with ANSTO.
The full reference is "Interstitial Oxide Ion Distribution and Transport Mechanism in Aluminum-Doped Neodymium Silicate Apatite Electrolytes", T. An, T. Baikie, A. Orera, R. O. Piltz, M. Meven, P. R. Slater, J. Wei, M. L. Sanjuán, and T. J. White, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 138, 4468-4483 (2016).
