For the practical application of fuel cells in vehicles, it is a challenge to develop a proton solid electrolyte that coexhibits thermal stability and high proton conductivity at wide intermediate temperatures. Here, we report on the tunnel structured phosphate KNi1-xH2x(PO3)3·yH2O, which exhibits high proton conductivity at room temperature up to 500 °C, with the conductivity value reaching 1.7 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 275 °C for x = 0.18. This material, composed of the smallest cations that form the tunnel framework with face-shared (KO6) and (NiO6) chains and PO4 tetrahedral chains, retained the rigid framework up to 600 °C. Two oxygen sites of water molecules located adjacent to each other along the PO4 tetrahedral chains in the tunnel provided the proton conduction pathway. The sample maintained a conductivity of 5.0 × 10-3 S cm-1 for 10 h at 150 °C while changing the measurement atmosphere to a N2 gas flow, a 4% H2-96% Ar gas flow, and an O2 gas flow. The conductivity value at x = 0.18 obtained from the DC measurement was in the order of 10-6 S cm-1, close to the instrument's measurement limit. These results demonstrate that tunnel phosphate has potential as a proton solid electrolyte for next-generation fuel cells.
