Abstract
Proton conductors have attracted great attention in various fields, especially in energy production. Here, we find that graphdiyne oxide (GDYO), derived from graphdiyne (GDY), features the highest proton conductivity of 0.54 S cm-1 (100 % RH, 348 K) among the oxidized carbon allotropes reported so far. The sp- and sp2 -co-hybridized carbon skeleton of GDY enables GDYO with the giant water uptake, which is 2.4 times larger than that of graphene oxide (GO), resulting in ultrahigh proton conductivity by increasing the proton concentration and proton conduction pathways. This ultrahigh proton conductivity of GDYO is further proved in a methanol fuel cell by using GDYO membrane as proton exchange membrane. The GDYO membrane enables the cell with higher open circuit voltage, larger power density and lower methanol permeability, compared with commercial Nafion 117. Moreover, the GDYO membrane bears high ion exchange capacity, good acidic stability and low swelling ratio.

Abstract
We report multifunctionalities including the solid electrolytic property, electron conductivity (EnC), and photocatalytic water splitting (PWS) ability of organic-only hybrids obtained by intercalating short and branched-chain alkylamines including methylamine (MA), butylamine (BA), pentylamine (PA), and isomethylbytylamine (IMBA) in reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The alkylamine-rGO hybrids were synthesized by a facile solid-state reduction process. Within the series, IMBA-rGO exhibited high proton conductivity (PrC), EnC, and optimized PWS capacity. The PrC of IMBA-rGO was from 10-4 to 10-3 S cm-1, which is only half an order less than that for pristine GO. The EnC was 1.25 μA/V. Though the PWS performances of MA-rGO, BA-rGO, and PA-rGO were comparatively lower, IMBA-rGO could generate about 1.5 times H2 compared with that for R-TiO2. The IR spectra indicate the association of IMBA and GO by chemical bonds. The Raman spectra show the transformation of GO's nonconductive sp3 carbon sites into electron-conductive sp2 carbon centers. The thermogravimetric analysis show improved water adsorbing capacity of IMBA-rGO, which resulted in higher PrC. Doping of the nitrogen atom at the graphitic sp2 system was confirmed from the presence of pyrrolic N in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra. The resultant N-type semiconducting behavior is majorly responsible for the PWS process. The powder X-ray diffraction analysis indicates a more flexible interlayer space in IMBA-rGO, which facilitates both the reformation of hydrogen bonds during proton conduction and water dynamics during photocatalysis. The material indicates the possibility of devising graphene-based organic-only multifunctional hybrids.

Abstract
Proton transfer plays a crucial role in a variety of biological phenomena. The transformation of nanomaterials in the environment and biology makes probing the potential proton transfer between nanomaterials and biomolecules a crucial issue, but it still remains a significant challenge. Here, we report proton transfer at the interface of graphene oxide (GO) by studying the GO-induced vibrational changes of interfacial water and carboxyl-terminated self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy. In addition to simply acting as a macromolecular buffer in solution, the GO sheet behaves as a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded exchangeable proton pool to dissociate and transfer protons at the interface with a suitable Brønsted base pair, which may bear a significant potential toxic origin for biological systems with proton-coupled reactions.
