Abstract
The separation of hydrogen heavy isotopes is a task of vast importance for nuclear energy production. For the first time, hydrogen and deuterium are efficiently separated using a protonic ceramic fuel cell, achieving a promising separating factor of ∼3.8 at 600 °C and a cell voltage of 0.7 V.
