Perovskite oxides exhibiting mixed protonic and electronic conductivities have interesting applications in protonic ceramic fuel cells. In this work, we report on a hydrated phase of BaCoO1.80(OH)0.86 synthesized using nebulized spray pyrolysis. Structural analysis based on X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data showed that the compound is isotypic to BaFeO2.33(OH)0.33. The water loss behaviour was studied using simultaneous thermal analysis and high temperature X-ray diffraction, indicating that protons (respectively water) can be stabilized within the compound up to temperatures significantly above 673 K, confirmed by ex situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies. Impedance spectroscopy was used to determine the conductivity characteristics of BaCoO1.80(OH)0.86, finding and a total electrical conductivity in the order of 10-4 S cm-1 at ambient temperature with an activation energy of 0.28 eV.
