Abstract

We have investigated caesium hydrogen sulfate, CsHSO4, in all three of its ambient pressure phases by total scattering neutron diffraction, inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and Raman spectroscopies and periodic density functional theory calculations. Above 140 °C, CsHSO4 undergoes a phase transition to a superprotonic conductor that has potential application in intermediate temperature fuel cells. Total scattering neutron diffraction data clearly show that all the existing structures of this phase are unable to describe the local structure, because they have either partial occupancies of the atoms and/or non-physical O–H distances. Knowledge of the local structure is crucial because it is this that determines the conduction mechanism. Starting from one of the previous models, we have generated a new structure that has no partial occupancies and reasonable O–H distances. After geometry optimisation, the calculated radial distribution function is in reasonable agreement with the experimental data, as are the calculated and observed INS and Raman spectra. This work is particularly notable in that we have measured INS spectra in the O–H stretch region above room temperature, which is extremely rare. The INS spectra have the enormous advantage that the electrical anharmonicity that complicates the infrared spectra is absent and the stretch modes are plainly seen.
