Highly stable superprotonic conductivity (>10 S cm) has been achieved through the unprecedented coordinative urea insertion in MOF-74 [M(dobdc), M = Ni, Mg; dobdc = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate] without an acidic moiety. The urea is bound to open metal sites and alters the void volume and surface functionality, which triggers a significant change in proton conductivity and diffusion mechanism. Solid-state H NMR revealed that the high conductivity was attributed to the strengthening of the hydrogen bonds between guest HO induced by hydrogen bonds in the interface between HO and the polarized coordinated urea.

Proton-electron mixed conductors (PEMCs) are an essential component for potential applications in hydrogen separation and energy conversion devices. However, the exploration of PEMCs with excellent mixed conduction, which is quantified by the ambipolar conductivity, σ = σσ/(σ + σ) (σ: electronic conductivity; σ: proton conductivity), is still a great challenge, largely due to the lack of structural characterization of both conducting mechanisms. In this study, we prepared a molecule-based proton-electron mixed-conducting cation radical salt, (ET)[Pt(pop)(Hpop)]·PhCN (ET: bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene, pop: PHO), by electrocrystallization.

Grasping proton transport pathways and mechanisms is vital for the application of fuel cell technology. Herein, we screened four guanidinium organosulfonate charge-assisted hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), namely, , , , and , which possess high hydrogen-bonded density proton transport networks shaped like nanotubes. These materials were prepared by self-assembly through charge-assisted interactions between guanidinium cations and organosulfonate anions, as well as by host-guest regulation.

Creation of an efficient and cost-effective proton exchange membrane (PEM) has emerged as a propitious solution to address the challenges of renewable energy development. Coordination polymers (CPs) have garnered significant interest due to their multifunctional applications and moldability, along with long-range order. To leverage the potential of CPs in fuel cells, it is essential to integrate microcrystalline CPs into organic polymers to prepare membranes and avoid grain boundary issues.

Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are promising proton conductive materials because of their inherent and abundant hydrogen-bonding sites. However, most superprotonic-conductive HOFs are constructed from multiple components to enable favorable framework architectures and structural integrity. In this contribution, layered HOF-TPB-A with a single component is synthesized and exfoliated.

Flexible metal-organic frameworks (FMOFs) exhibit reversible structural transitions ("breathing" behaviors), which can regulate the proton transport passageway effectively. This property offers remarkable advantages for improving the proton conductivity. Our objective of this work is to design a single-variable flexibility synergistic strategy for the fabrication of FMOFs with high conductivity.
