Extraordinary high tetravalent cation conducting behaviors in solid
A tetravalent cation conductor whose ionic conductivity is extraordinary high and comparable to the conductivity range of the representative divalent oxide anion conductors, was artificially designed by strictly choosing the constituent elements and the structure of the solid. Promising applications such as rechargeable batteries and chemical sensors for a global environmental monitoring, are greatly expected.
