      abstract = {This book reports a study of a class of DionJacobson-type  layered perovskite oxides in which high oxide-ion  conductivities in phases were discovered for the first time  in the world. The oxide-ion conductors are important in  various energy conversion devices and environmental  protection applications such as solid-oxide fuel cells,  oxygen gas sensors, oxygen separation membranes, and  oxygen-based catalysts. The discoveries are based on a new  screening method, called the bond valence method, combined  with an original design concept. The present finding of  high oxide-ion conductivity reported in the thesis  suggested the potential of DionJacobson phases as a  platform to identify superior oxide-ion conductors. To  understand what causes such high oxide-ion conductivities  in these layered perovskite oxides, the author analyzed  their crystal structures at high temperature and described  the relationship between oxide-ion conductivities and their  crystal structures. A deep understanding of the mechanisms  of oxide-ion diffusivity at an atomic level in the  DionJacobson phases is clarified. The discovery of these  materials, the new screening method, and the original  design concept make possible the realization of many  environment-friendly technologies. The findings in this  thesis facilitate the possibilities for many novel  applications that will help lead to a sustainable future.  .},
