In this study, preliminary experiments are conducted on an hydroxide ion-conducting electrolyte, which may have potential for application to the electrolysis of steam at intermediate temperatures. In this work the DC conductivity of wet Li/sub 5/A10/sub 4/ samples was measured as a function of temperatures and applied voltage. It is proposed that, under the conditions employed in this work, D-C charge conduction is due to the transport of hydroxide ions derived from the LiOH contained in the structure, rather than by electronic species.
