Solid State Proton Conductors

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.
