Abstract Spatiotemporal control of ion conductivity is a key issue for creating emerging fields functional ion‐conducting nanomaterials. In the present paper, we demonstrate formation hetero‐smectic lamellar structures, which are formed by nanosegregation hydrophobic liquid crystalline (LC) azobenzene side chains and hydrophilic acrylic acid via polymer main in side‐chain LC (SCLC) copolymers, reversible photoswitching proton conductivity. Proton‐conducting SCLC copolymers with different contents synthesized free‐radical copolymerization. The nature polymers investigated polarized optical microscope observation, differential scanning calorimetry X‐ray scattering measurements. Ultraviolet (UV)–visible absorption spectroscopy grazing incidence measurements reveal copolymer thin films. Proton films evaluated impedance under temperatures relative humidity conditions sequential UV light irradiation. These results indicate that stable around one order magnitude attributed to trans – cis photoisomerization offer opportunity applications photo‐functional nanomaterials including biomimetic ionic signal transduction devices neuromorphic devices. © 2024 Society Chemical Industry.

This study investigates the impact of alkyl side chain length on structural organization and proton conductivity sulfonated polyimide (SPI) thin films. SPIs with different lengths CX (X: number carbon atoms at chain, X = 0, 3, 6, 10) were synthesized, relationship between molecular architecture transport properties was investigated. In all SPIs, polymer backbone oriented parallel to substrate, lamellar structures confirmed, spacing increasing linearly length. Water uptake behavior varied significantly, where C0 film exhibited highest water lower humidity while C3 achieved higher under high humidity, reaching 1.8 × 10–1 S cm–1 298 K 95% relative (RH) an activation energy 0.18 eV 90% RH. Conversely, extending led insolubility in C10. As a result, exchange membrane system chemical/water stability constructed. These findings provide critical insights into designing advanced proton-conducting materials optimizing their performance for fuel cells other electrochemical devices.

Based on the previous work conducted by Fujii et al., NdBaInO4 compounds present modest oxide-ion conductivities. Therefore, it has been an attractive system of significant interest. In this study, we attempted to partially substitute Ca for Nd and total electrical conductivity was successfully improved due generation oxygen vacancies. The synthesis, crystal structure, density, surface topography, properties Ca-doped have studied, respectively. 10% 20% molar fractions were synthesized through solid-state reactions. structure them obtained from Le Bail refinement XRD pattern, giving result monoclinic which belongs P21/c space group. highest 4.91 × 10−3 S cm−1 in Nd0.9Ca0.1BaInO3.95 sample at a temperature 760 °C dry atmosphere activation energy reduced 0.68 eV 0.58 when above 464 (737 K) after doping with 0.1 fraction Ca2+. Moreover, wet moderate relatively higher than that atmosphere, suggests potential proton conduction may exist atmospheres. addition, diffusion coefficients (D* = 1.82 10−8 cm2/s, 850 °C) about two times Nd0.8Ca0.2BaInO3.90 7.95 10−9 increased significantly orders magnitude compared coefficient undoped 8.25 10−11 °C).

Abstract Proton conduction is important in both fundamental research and technological development. Here we report designed synthesis of crystalline porous covalent organic frameworks as a new platform for high‐rate anhydrous proton conduction. By developing nanochannels with different topologies pathways loading neat phosphoric acid to construct robust carrier networks the pores, found that pore topology crucial Its effect on increasing conductivity an exponential mode other than linear fashion, endowing materials exceptional conductivities exceeding 10 −2 S cm −1 over broad range temperature low activation energy barrier down 0.24 eV. Remarkably, size controls mechanism, where mesopores promote via fast‐hopping while micropores follow sluggish vehicle process. Notably, decreasing content drastically reduces greatly increases barrier, emphasizing pivotal role well‐developed network transport. These findings insights unveil general transformative guidance designing framework systems ion conduction, storage, conversion.
