DENDRITIC PHYTIC ACID AS A PROTON-CONDUCTING CROSSLINKER FOR IMPROVED THERMAL STABILITY AND PROTON CONDUCTIVITY

Dendritic phytic acid as a proton-conducting crosslinker for improved thermal stability and proton conductivity

Abstract There is growing interest in materials that exhibit enhanced proton conductivity at elevated temperatures without the need for humidification.Here, we develop a dendritic proton-conducting dopant for proton exchange membranes based on phytic acid (PhA) salts.PhA, which contains six phosphate groups capable of facilitating proton exchange,
