| Summary: | The creation of highly efficient and eco-friendly energy sources such as hydrogen energy systems is one of main vectors for the sustainable development of human society. Proton-conducting ceramic materials can be applied as one of the main components of such hydrogen- fueled electrochemical devices, including protonic ceramic fuel cells. The oxyanion doping strategy is a promising approach for improving transport properties of proton-conducting complex oxides. In this paper, this strategy was applied to proton-conducting layered perovskites for the first time. The phosphorus-doped protonic conductors based on BaLanInnO3n+1 (n = 1, 2) were obtained, and their electrical conductivity was thoroughly investigated. It was found that the phosphorous doping leads to an increase in the electrical conductivity values by ~0.7 orders of magnitude.
