A few metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which typically use strong acids as proton sources, display superprotonic conductivity (≈10 S cm ); however, they are rare due to the instability of MOFs in highly acidic conditions. For the first time, we report superprotonic conductivity using a moderately acidic guest, zwitterionic sulfamic acid (HSA), which is encapsulated in MOF-808 and MIL-101. HSA acts not only as a proton source but also as a proton-conducting medium due to its extensive hydrogen bonding ability and zwitterion effect. A new sustained concentration gradient method results in higher HSA encapsulation compared to conventional methods, producing 10HSA@MOF-808-(bSA) and 8HSA@MIL-101. These MOFs show impressive superprotonic conductivity of 2.47×10 and 3.06×10 S cm , respectively, at 85 °C and 98 % relative humidity, and maintain stability for 7 days.

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.

An efficient design of crystalline solid-state proton conductors (SSPCs) is crucial for the progress of clean energy applications. Developing such materials to make them work at room temperature with a conductivity of ≥10 S cm is of significant interest in terms of technical and commercial aspects. Utilizing the recently highlighted "coordinated-water-driven proton conduction" approach, herein, we have rationally synthesized two highly stable and scalable 1D Co(II) coordination polymers (CPs) as SSPCs, {[Co(bpy)(HO)(NO)]·HO} and {[Co(bpy)(SO)(HO)].
