Polyoxometalate-based reticular materials for proton conduction: from rigid frameworks to flexible networks

Abstract

Proton conductors play a crucial role in energy and electronic technologies, thus attracting extensive research interest. Recently, reticular chemistry has propelled the development of reticular materials with framework or network structures, which can offer tunable proton transport pathways to achieve optimal conducting performance. Polyoxometalates (POMs), as a class of highly proton-conducting units, have been integrated into these reticular materials using various linkers. This leads to the creation of hybrid proton conductors with structures varying from rigid crystalline frameworks to flexible networks, showing adjustable proton transport behaviors and mechanical properties. This Frontier article highlights the advancements in POM-based reticular materials for proton conduction and provides insights for designing advanced proton conductors for practical applications.
