The authors report on the consolidation of nanostructured bulk cubic zirconia with a grain size of about 15 nm and a relative density greater than 98%. This material exhibits a change in the conduction mechanism with considerable protonic conductivity when exposed to moisture. The marked reduction of the resistivity of zirconia at low temperatures brings it to a level comparable to that typical of other protonic conductors, but with the advantage of superior mechanical and chemical stabilities.

Abstract
The authors report on the consolidation of nanostructured bulk cubic zirconia with a grain size of about 15 nm and a relative density greater than 98%. This material exhibits a change in the conduction mechanism with considerable protonic conductivity when exposed to moisture. The marked reduction of the resistivity of zirconia at low temperatures brings it to a level comparable to that typical of other protonic conductors, but with the advantage of superior mechanical and chemical stabilities.
