Syntheses, proton conductivity, gas permeability properties, and membrane stabilities of novel sulfonated graft copolyimides were investigated. The sulfonated graft copolyimide membrane showed significantly high proton conductivity (0.96 S/cm at 90°C and 98%RH, more than 6 times that of Nafion), suggesting that the protons in the sulfonated graft copolyimide membranes were efficiently transported. The oxidative stability of the novel sulfonated graft copolyimide was higher than that of the conventional graft copolyimide because of their polymer structures containing chemically stable naphthalene moieties and non–sulfonated polymer main–chain. Furthermore, the oxygen permeability of the membrane was approximately one–fourth the value of Nafion and had a very excellent gas barrier property. We demonstrated that the graft copolymer membrane could realize high proton conductivity and low gas permeability to have potential applications for use in fuel cells.

A novel 2D nickel(ii) complex (1) has been successfully synthesized using a 2,2′-bipyridyl, polycarboxylsulfonate ligand H4SBTC and Ni2+ ions. Owing to the presence of abundant water molecules, hydrogen bond networks and other protons, 1 and its hybrid membranes demonstrate high proton conductivity.

Through cation substitution in a zirconium based coordination polymer, an isostructural framework 1@NH4+ has been prepared without any apparent structural change. The proton conductivity of 1@NH4+ is successfully improved. It exhibits high proton conductivity (1.39 × 10−2 S cm−1) at 98% relative humidity and 60 °C.

The MOFs were constructed by ligand AHP and sulfonate analogues. MOF4 exhibits a high proton conductivity of 1.95 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 95 °C and 98% relative humidity. MOFs 1–5 also serve as photocatalysts for methylene blue degradation.

By using a simple and universal process, we successfully synthesized various sulfonated porous organic polymers with high proton conductivity, and therefore this strategy could evolve structural designs for high proton-conductive materials.
