Proton‐conducting materials are an important component of fuel cells. Development of new types of proton‐conducting materials is one of the most important issues in fuel‐cell technology. Herein, we present newly developed proton‐conducting materials, modularly built porous solids, including coordination polymers (CPs) or metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The designable and tunable nature of the porous materials allows for fast development in this research field. Design and synthesis of the new types of proton‐conducting materials and their unique proton‐conduction properties are discussed.
Pores and protons: Development of new types of proton‐conducting materials is important in fuel‐cell technology. Newly developed proton‐conducting materials formed from modularly built porous solids, including coordination polymers (CPs) or metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are discussed (see scheme).
