“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The rational design strategies for proton-conductive MOFs are established depending on the proton sources. For example, there are design strategies focusing on the increase in mobile proton concentration and possible conduction pathway through i) countercation inclusion in anionic frameworks type, [17][18][19] where H 3 O + , Me 2 NH 2 + , or NH 4 + are playing a proton source, ii) metal/ligand functionalization by predesign or post-synthetic modification of the MOF type, [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] where non-coordinated addition functional groups (-NH 2 , -OH, -PO 3 H 2 or -SO 3 H) provide proton or conduction pathway, iii) acid (H 2 SO 4 , H 3 PO 4 , HCl, etc.) or functional guest molecules (imidazole, triazole, and histamine) inclusion type, [28][29][30] iv) defect control (metal center or ligand missing) type, [31][32][33] and v) external stimulus [34][35][36] such as pressure and light.…”
