Abstract
The hitherto neglected phonon-exchange interaction between interstitial protons in metal lattices is found to be large. It is shown that this effect may give rise to a phase of protonic superconductivity, characterized by the formation of Cooper-like pairs of protons, in certain metals at high stoichiometric loading.
