Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find a correlation of an induced cubic phase in Phosphate solid acids due to applied heat and proton conductivity. In order to calculate the proton conductivity the application of the Nernst--Einstein equation. \newline In this study we used different partial humidity pressures with a combination of Cesium Dihydrogen Phosphate CsH$_{\mathrm{2}}$PO$_{\mathrm{4}}$ (CDP) with SiO$_{\mathrm{2}}$, to provide more stability to the sample. We tested different ratios of CDP/SiO$_{\mathrm{2}}$ under different partial pressures. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy techniques (EIS) techniques were used to determine the impedance of the samples, later used in the Nernst--Einstein equation.
