John Wiley (Jw) Solid State Proton Conductors by Maria Luisa Di Vona
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 AcidsDiffusion in Solid Proton Conductors by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance SpectroscopyStructure and Diffusivity by Quasielastic Neutron ScatteringBroadband Dielectric SpectroscopyMechanical and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of Proton-Conducting PolymersAb initio Modeling of Transport and StructurePerfluorinated Sulfonic AcidsProton-Conducting Aromatic PolymersInorganic Solid Proton ConductorsUniquely 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.
