The tasks of quality environmental improvement and the development of new energy sources are very relevant. Hydrogen-operating electrochemical devices are strongly needed innovative ceramic materials with target properties, one of which is a high level of proton conductivity. It this paper, the possibility of proton conductivity in acceptor-doped two-layer compositions based on BaLa2In2O7 was proved for the first time. It was proved that doping leads to an increase in conductivity values up to ~1.5 orders of magnitude. The most conductive is the BaLa1.9Sr0.1In2O6.95 composition which demonstrates protonic conductivity value 2 × 10–5 S/cm at 450 °C. The acceptor-doped two-layer perovskites is a novel prospective class of proton-conducting materials, and further modification of their composition opens up a new method for the design of electrochemical energy generation devices.
