Summary:

Proton conduction can be found in many different solid materials, from organic polymers at room temperature to inorganic oxides at high temperature. Solid state proton conductors are of central interest for many technological innovations, including hydrogen and humidity sensors, membranes for water electrolyzers and, most importantly, for high-efficiency electrochemical energy conversion in fuel cells.

Focusing on fundamentals and physico-chemical properties of solid state proton conductors, topics covered include:

Morphology and Structure of Solid Acids

Diffusion in Solid Proton Conductors by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Structure and Diffusivity by Quasielastic Neutron Scattering

Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy

Mechanical and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of Proton-Conducting Polymers

Ab initio Modeling of Transport and Structure

Perfluorinated Sulfonic Acids

Proton-Conducting Aromatic Polymers

Inorganic Solid Proton Conductors

Uniquely combining both organic (polymeric) and inorganic proton conductors, Solid State Proton Conductors: Properties and Applications in Fuel Cells provides a complete treatment of research on proton-conducting materials. Book jacket.
