Apatite-type oxides taking the general formula [AI4][AII6][(BO4)6][X2±y], particularly those of the rare earth silicate and germanate systems, are among the more promising materials being considered as alternative solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes. Nonstoichiometric lanthanum silicate and germanat...
