NOVELTY - The proton conductor system (10) comprises a solid oxide (12) having a hydrogen vibrational mode defined by a bandwidth and resonance frequency, a light source (14) for irradiating the solid oxide with infrared light (16) in a wavelength band having a center frequency matching the resonance frequency, and unit for directing the infrared light so-passed through the solid oxide back to the solid oxide. The bandwidth is equal to the wavelength band of the infrared light. The solid oxide comprises a metal oxide having host ions and an atomic composition.    USE - The proton conductor system is useful for power applications including solid oxide fuel cell, dehydrogenation pumps, steam electrolyzer for hydrogen production and hydrogen sensors.    ADVANTAGE - The proton conductor system has high durability and efficiency, reduced corrosion, increased protonic current and electric power, provides enhanced proton transport across solid oxides, long term stability, high fuel flexibility and low emissions to the solid oxide fuel cell, and can be economically manufactured with increased migration at low temperature.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The proton conductor system (10) comprises a solid oxide (12) having a hydrogen vibrational mode defined by a bandwidth and resonance frequency, a light source (14) for irradiating the solid oxide with infrared light (16) in a wavelength band having a center frequency matching the resonance frequency, and unit for directing the infrared light so-passed through the solid oxide back to the solid oxide. The bandwidth is equal to the wavelength band of the infrared light. The solid oxide comprises a metal oxide having host ions and an atomic composition including an oxygen atom and a metallic element atom, and comprises a plate-like structure and a tubular structure. The metal oxide is doped with transition-metal ions having a lower valence than the host ions. The infrared light passes through the solid oxide. The proton conductor system further comprises a first electrode serving as an anode coupled to the metal oxide, a second electrode serving as a cathode coupled to the metal oxide, a fuel gas exposed to the first electrode, and an oxidizer exposed to the second electrode. The second electrode is spaced apart from the first electrode. The metal oxide is positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode. The fuel gas comprises a hydrogen-based gas. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for enhancing proton transport through a solid oxide.
