A detailed study on the effects of adsorbed water molecules on proton conduction in a metal–organic framework†
Abstract
We demonstrate the proton-conductive properties of Zr-BPT, having one-dimensional pores. The MOF shows superprotonic conductivity of 3.6 × 10−4 S cm−1 at room temperature (25 °C). The conduction mechanism was discussed with the relationship among the structure, conductive properties, and adsorption behaviour.
