Abstract
In this work, a proton-conductive inorganic filler based on polyoxovanadate (NH4)7[MnV13O38] (AMV) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (EMIM TFSI) was synthesized for hybridization with sulfonated poly(aryl ether ketone sulfone) (SPAEKS) to address the "trade-off" between high proton conductivity and mechanical strength. The novel inorganic filler AMV-EMIM TFSI (AI) was uniformly dispersed and stable within the polymer matrix due to the enhanced ionic interaction. AI provided additional proton transport sites, leading to an elevated ion exchange capacity (IEC) and improved proton conductivity, even at low swelling ratios. The optimized SPAEKS-50/AI-5 (50 for degree of sulfonation of SPAEKS and 5 for weight percentage of AI filler) membrane exhibited the highest proton conductivity of 0.188 S·cm-1 at 80 °C with an IEC of 2.38 mmol·g-1. The enhancement of intermolecular forces improved the mechanical strength from 35 to 55 MPa and improved the elongation at break from 17 to 45%, indicating excellent mechanical properties. The hybrid membrane also demonstrated reinforced methanol resistance due to the hydrogen bonding network and blocking effect, making it suitable for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications, which exhibited a power density of 15.1 mW·cm-2 at 80 °C. The possibility of further functionalizing these hybrid membranes to tailor their properties for specific applications presents exciting new avenues for research and development. By modification of the type and distribution of fillers or incorporation of additional functional groups, the membranes could be customized to meet the unique demands of various energy storage and conversion systems, enhancing their performance and broadening their application scope. This work provides new insights into the design of polymer electrolyte membranes through inorganic filler hybridization.

Abstract
SCPEEK@MOF proton exchange membranes, where SCPEEK is sulfinyl chloride polyether ether ketone and MOF is a metal-organic framework, were prepared by doping Fe-MIL-101-NH2 into polymers. The amino group in the MOF and the -SOCl2 group in thionyl chloride polyether ether ketone cross-link to form a covalent bond through the Hinsberg reaction, and the prepared composite membrane has stronger stability than other electrostatic interactions and simple physical doping composite membranes. The formation of covalent bonds improves the water absorption of the composite membrane, which makes it easy for water molecules to form hydrogen bonds. Moreover, SPEEK as a proton conductive polymer and the synergy of MOFs improve the proton conductivity of composite membranes. The composite membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The swelling rate, water absorption, mechanical stability, ion exchange capacity, and proton conductivity of the pure sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) membrane were compared with those of the mechanically doped SPEEK/MOF membrane and the composite membrane SCPEEK@MOF doped with different ratios of Fe-MIL-101-NH2, and all of the SCPEEK@MOF showed superior performance. When the Fe-MIL-101-NH2 loading rate of the composite membrane is 2%, the proton conductivity of the composite membrane can reach 0.202 S cm-1 at 363 K and a 98% relative humidity, which is much higher than that of the SPEEK/MOF membrane obtained by simple physical doping under the same conditions.

Abstract
Developing new solid-state electrolyte materials for improving the proton conductivity remains an important challenge. Herein, a novel two-dimensional layered solid-state proton conductor Bi2O2-SiW12 nanocomposite, based on silicotungstic acid (H4SiW12O40) and Bi(NO3)3·5H2O, was synthesized and characterized. The composite consists of a layered cation framework [Bi2O2]2+ and interlayer-embedded counteranionic [SiW12O40]4-, which forms continuous hydrogen bond (O-H···O) networks through the interaction of adjacent oxygen atoms on the surface of the [Bi2O2]2+ and oxygen atoms of the H4SiW12O40. Facile proton transfer along these pathways endows the Bi2O2-SiW12 (30:1) nanocomposite with an excellent proton conductivity of 3.61 mS cm-1 at 90 °C and 95% relative humidity, indicating that the nanocomposite has good prospects as a highly efficient proton conductor.

Ce-mediated molecular tailoring on gigantic polyoxometalate {Mo 132} into half-closed {Ce 11Mo 96} for high proton conduction. Nat Commun 2023; 14:5025.

Abstract
Precise synthesis of polyoxometalates (POMs) is important for the fundamental understanding of the relationship between the structure and function of each building motif. However, it is a great challenge to realize the atomic-level tailoring of specific sites in POMs without altering the major framework. Herein, we report the case of Ce-mediated molecular tailoring on gigantic {Mo132}, which has a closed structural motif involving a never seen {Mo110} decamer. Such capped wheel {Mo132} undergoes a quasi-isomerism with known {Mo132} ball displaying different optical behaviors. Experiencing an 'Inner-On-Outer' binding process with the substituent of {Mo2} reactive sites in {Mo132}, the site-specific Ce ions drive the dissociation of {Mo2*} clipping sites and finally give rise to a predictable half-closed product {Ce11Mo96}. By virtue of the tailor-made open cavity, the {Ce11Mo96} achieves high proton conduction, nearly two orders of magnitude than that of {Mo132}. This work offers a significant step toward the controllable assembly of POM clusters through a Ce-mediated molecular tailoring process for desirable properties.

Abstract
The construction of attractive dual-functional lanthanide-based metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) with ratiometric fluorescent detection and proton conductivity is significant and challenging. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) Eu-MOF, namely, [Eu4(HL)2(SBA)4(H2O)6]·9H2O, has been hydrothermally synthesized with a dual-ligand strategy, using (4-carboxypiperidyl)-N-methylenephosphonic acid (H3L = H2O3PCH2-NC5H9-COOH) and 4-sulfobenzoic acid monopotassium salt (KHSBA = KO3SC6H4COOH) as organic linkers. Eu-MOF showed ratiometric fluorescent broad-spectrum sensing of benzophenone-like ultraviolet filters (BP-like UVFs) with satisfactory sensitivity, selectivity, and low limits of detection in water/ethanol (1:1, v/v) solutions and real urine systems. A portable test paper was prepared for the convenience of actual detection. The potential sensing mechanisms were thoroughly analyzed by diversified experiments. The synergistic effect of the forbidden energy transfer from the ligand to Eu3+, the internal filtration effect (IFE), the formation of a complex, and weak interactions between the KHSBA ligand and BP-like UVFs is responsible for the ratiometric sensing effect. Meanwhile, Eu-MOF displayed relatively high proton conductivity of 2.60 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 368 K and 95% relative humidity (RH), making it a potential material for proton conduction. This work provides valuable guidance for the facile and effective design and construction of multifunctional Ln-MOFs with promising performance.

Abstract
Water-stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with proton-conducting behavior have attracted great attention as promising materials for proton-exchange membrane fuel cells. Herein, we report the mechanochemical gram-scale synthesis of three new mixed-ligand phosphonate-based MOFs, {Co(H2PhDPA)(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)·2H2O}n (BAM-1), {Fe(H2PhDPA)(4,4'-bipy) (H2O)·2H2O}n (BAM-2), and {Cu(H2PhDPA)(dpe)2(H2O)2·2H2O}n (BAM-3) [where H2PhDPA = phenylene diphosphonate, 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine, and dpe = 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene]. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that BAM-1 and BAM-2 are isostructural and possess a three-dimensional (3D) network structure comprising one-dimensional (1D) channels filled with guest water molecules. Instead, BAM-3 displays a 1D network structure extended into a 3D supramolecular structure through hydrogen-bonding and π-π interactions. In all three structures, guest water molecules are interconnected with the uncoordinated acidic hydroxyl groups of the phosphonate moieties and coordinated water molecules by means of extended hydrogen-bonding interactions. BAM-1 and BAM-2 showed a gradual increase in proton conductivity with increasing temperature and reached 4.9 × 10-5 and 4.4 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 90 °C and 98% relative humidity (RH). The highest proton conductivity recorded for BAM-3 was 1.4 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 50 °C and 98% RH. Upon further heating, BAM-3 undergoes dehydration followed by a phase transition to another crystalline form which largely affects its performance. All compounds exhibited a proton hopping (Grotthuss model) mechanism, as suggested by their low activation energy.

Abstract
The rational development of an anion templation strategy for the construction of macrocycles has been historically limited to small anions, but large polyoxoanions can offer unmatched structural diversity and ample binding sites. Here we report the formation of a {Mo22 Fe8 } macrocycle by using the Preyssler anion, [NaP5 W30 O110 ]14- ({P5 W30 }), as a supramolecular template. The {Mo22 Fe8 } macrocycle displays selective anion binding behavior in solution. In the solid state, the 1 : 2 host-guest complex, {P5 W30 }2 ⊂{Mo22 Fe8 }, transports protons more effectively, through an extended hydrogen-bonding network, than a related 1 : 1 complex where the guest is completely encapsulated. The results highlight the great potential this anion templation approach has in producing macrocyclic systems for selective anion recognition and proton conduction purposes.

Abstract
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are limited because they are limited to working temperatures and are susceptible to damage by dramatic electrochemical environments such as hydrogen peroxide/radicals. It is necessary to develop new proton-conducting materials that are water-stable and can operate at high temperatures. The hourglass reduced molybdophosphate-based compound (H2bimb)3[Zn3(H6P4Mo6O31)2] (bimb = 1,4-bis[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene) was designed and synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses demonstrated noticeably that CUST-571 was composed of an hourglass {Zn[P4Mo6]2} structure, which consisted of two fully reduced half-units {P4Mo6}. It was found that CUST-571 possessed an excellent proton conductivity of 4.54 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 85 °C and 98% RH (relative humidity). In addition, CUST-571 is capable of an excellent catalytic decomposition of H2O2, which is beneficial to increase the life of fuel cells. On the basis of the aforementioned results, CUST-571 may be a promising proton-conducting polyoxometalate hybrid material in the future.

Abstract
As a new class of crystalline porous organic materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted considerable attention for proton conduction owing to their regular channels and tailored functionality. However, most COFs are insoluble and unprocessable, which makes membrane preparation for practical use a challenge. In this study, we used surface-initiated condensation polymerization of a trialdehyde and a phenylenediamine for the synthesis of sulfonic COF (SCOF) coatings. The COF layer thickness could be finely tuned from 10 to 100 nm by controlling the polymerization time. Moreover, free-standing COF membranes were obtained by sacrificing the bridging layer without any decomposition of the COF structure. Benefiting from the abundant sulfonic acid groups in the COF channels, the proton conductivity of the SCOF membrane reached 0.54 S cm-1 at 80 °C in pure water. To our knowledge, this is one of the highest values for a pristine COF membrane in the absence of additional additives.

Abstract
The development of proton-conducting materials in cold regions is still at the initial stage due to the challenge in breaking the subzero temperature limit, especially in covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Herein, we fabricated a series of proton-conductive COFs as self-standing, highly flexible combined membranes (ssc-COFMs) composed of a processable TpBD-Me2 and a conductive Tp-TGCl, in-situ encapsulated proton-conducting ionic liquids (PCILs) as additional proton sources into backbones. Compositions and microstructures of ssc-COFMs are monitored by XRD, FTIR, nitrogen adsorption and elemental analysis. Comparison to other porous organic conductors, a great advance propelled renders the combined COF membranes to have a high protonic conductivities at medium and subzero temperatures (243 to 353 K), owing to the resultant multifaceted synergistic effect of multiple proton units. Specifically, the proton conductivities of the ssc-COFMs loaded with -SO4H functionalized PCILs reaches 2.87 × 10-4 S cm-1 (~58% RH) and 9.93 × 10-4 S cm-1 (~98% RH) at 243 K, together with 6.84 × 10-2 S·cm-1 under 353 K and ~ 98% RH.

Abstract
The exploration of composition-structure-function relationship in proton-conducting solids remains a challenge in materials chemistry. Polyoxometalate-based compounds have been long considered as candidates for proton conductors; however, their low structural stability and a large decrease in conductivity under reduced relative humidity (RH) have limited their applications. To overcome such limitations, the hybridization of polyoxometalates with proton-conducting polymers has emerged as a promising method. Besides, 4f lanthanide ions possess a high coordination number, which can be utilized to attract water molecules and to build robust frameworks. Herein, a Preyssler-type polyoxometalate functionalized with a 9-coordinate Eu3+ (Eu[P5W30O110K]11-) is newly synthesized and combined with poly(allylamine) with amine moieties as protonation sites. The resulting robust crystalline composite exhibits an ultrahigh proton conductivity >10-2 S cm-1 at 368 K and 90% RH, which is still >10-3 S cm-1 at 50% RH, due to the strengthened and extended hydrogen-bonding network.

Abstract
Fabricating proton exchange membranes (PEMs) with high ionic conductivity and ideal mechanical robustness through regulation of the membrane microstructures achieved by molecular-level hybridization remains essential but challenging for the further development of high-performance PEM fuel cells. In this work, by precisely hybridizing nano-scaled bismuth oxide clusters into Nafion, we have fabricated the high-performance hybrid membrane, Nafion-Bi12 -3 %, which showed a proton conductivity of 386 mS cm-1 at 80 °C in aqueous solution with low methanol permeability, and conserved the ideal mechanical and chemical stabilities as PEMs. Moreover, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was employed to clarify the structural properties and the assembly mechanisms of the hybrid membrane on the molecular level. The maximum current density and power density of Nafion-Bi12 -3 % for direct methanol fuel cells reached to 432.7 mA cm-2 and 110.2 mW cm-2 , respectively. This work provides new insights into the design of versatile functional polymer electrolyte membranes through polyoxometalate hybridization.

Abstract
Nickel oxide-graphene oxide (NiO-GO), zinc oxide-graphene oxide (ZnO-GO) and bismuth oxide-graphene oxide (Bi2O3-GO) metal oxide-graphene oxide nanocomposite (MO-GO NC) sensors, operable at room temperature, were synthesized via a simple and cost-effective microwave-assisted combustion method for chemiresistive gas sensor applications. From the measured structural, morphological, and elemental detection properties, the sensors are found capable of detecting various gases. The Bi2O3-GO NC sensor exhibited excellent response over NiO-GO (~20 at 50 ppm) and ZnO-GO NC (~60 at 50 ppm) sensors for detecting NH3. The response of the Bi2O3-GO NC sensor at 50 ppm NH3 in just 14 s operation duration was ~81.23, which is improved 25-fold and 13-fold compared to pristine GO sensors. Additionally, the as-developed Bi2O3-GO NC sensor demonstrates outstanding repeatability and recovery kinetics, attributed to porosity and the combined effects of MO and GO. The sensing mechanism of the Bi2O3-GO NC gas sensors is proposed herein. The superior sensing performance, including quick response and recovery of the Bi2O3-GO NC sensor is attributed to favorable charge transfer across the Bi2O3 and GO interface. The significance of relative humidity on sensing potential of the Bi2O3-GO NC sensor has also been studied and the sensor is confirmed to be unaffected by relative humidity.

Abstract
Graphene oxide has shown exceptional properties in terms of water permeability and filtration characteristics. Here the suitability of graphene oxide membranes for the spatial separation of hydronium and hydroxide ions after photocatalytic water splitting is demonstrated. Instead of relying on classical size exclusion by adjusting the membrane laminates' interlayer spacings, nonmodified graphene oxide is used to exploit the presence of its natural functional groups and surface charges for filtration. Despite a significantly larger interlayer spacing inside the membrane compared with the size of the hydrated radii of the ions, highly asymmetric transport behavior and a 6 times higher mobility for hydronium than for hydroxide are observed. DFT simulations reveal that hydroxide ions are more prone to interact and stick to the functional groups of graphene oxide, while diffusion of hydronium ions through the membrane is less impeded and aligns well with the concept of the Grotthuss mechanism.

A series of composites have been fabricated by introducing ionic liquid (IL) (ship) into chromium terephthalate MIL-101 (bottle) by ship-in-bottle method (IL@MIL-101s), the resulting IL@MIL-101s are endowed to high water retention, which is essential to proton conducting on multiple energy-involved applications at the low relative humidity (RH). The humidifying IL can lower water loss and increase water uptake, and thus improves water retention properties of the composites aided by the mesoporous MIL-101 at low RH. The hydropenic proton transfer pathways are modeled inside MOF and between IL-MOF, diminishing energy barrier routes for proton hopping, and thus a promotive proton transfer is rendered via Grotthuss mechanism. Specially, the IL@MIL-101 (SIB-3) unfolds a high proton conductivity (σ = 4.4 × 10-2 S cm-1) at RH as low as ~23%, five orders of magnitude increase than that of parent MIL-101 (1.1 × 10-7 S cm-1) at 323 K. Besides, IL@MIL-101s as fillers are incorporated into polymer blends to form hybrid membranes, appearing the relatively high proton conductivity (4.3 × 10-3 S cm-1) under ~23% RH at 323 K.
