Polyoxometalate coordination polymers improve proton conduction, suggesting new material strategies.

The aim is to design crystalline proton-conductive materials and investigate their conduction mechanisms.
Constructed two new coordination polymers, CUST-963 and CUST-964.
Combined Keggin-type H4SiW12O40, 2,5-di(1H-imidazole-1-yl)terephthalic acid, and transition metals.
Used hydrothermal conditions for synthesis.
Performed X-ray diffraction analysis and alternating current impedance tests.
CUST-963 showed more uncoordinated nitrogen sites, facilitating a denser hydrogen-bonding network.
CUST-963 achieved a lower activation energy of 0.14 eV.
CUST-963 exhibited a higher proton conductivity of 1.88 × 10^-2 S cm^-1 compared to CUST-964.
