Abstract

Proton conductivity of the natural diatomite was studied by ac complex impedance technique. At room temperature, the highest proton conductivity was found to be 4.5 x 10-7 S·cm-1. By hydrating the diatomite, the proton conductivity was increased to two orders of magnitude higher. The room temperate proton conductivity of the hydrated diatomite (5.5 x 10-5 S·cm-1) was comparable to other hydrated solid proton conductors. The natural diatomite could be used as potential cost-effective proton conductor for electrochemical applications.
