Abstract
The invention relates to the use of a ceramic of formula Ba2(1−x)M2xIn2(1−y)M′2yO4+δ(OH)δ′ where M represents at least one metal cation with an oxidation number II or III or a combination thereof, M′ represents at least one metal cation with an oxidation number III, IV, V or VI or a combination thereof, 0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, δ≦2 and 0 <δ′≦2, as solid proton-conducting electrolyte in an electrochemical device, in particular a fuel cell, an electrolytic cell, a membrane separating hydrogen from a gas mixture, or also a hydrogen detector, at an operating temperature of said electrochemical device preferably comprised between 200° C. and 600° C.
