The Keggin-type polyoxometalate (POM) PW12O403–and the catalytic complex Cp* Rh
(bpydc) Cl2 (bpydc= 2, 2′-bipyridine-5, 5′-dicarboxylic acid) were coimmobilized in the Zr …

We report the structure and charge transport properties of a novel solid-state proton
conductor obtained by acid–base chemistry via proton transfer from 12-tungstophosphoric …

Highly dispersed H3PW12O40/SiO2 catalysts with loadings between 3.6 and 62.5 wt% have
been synthesised and characterised. The formation of a chemically distinct interfacial HPW …

Due to the interesting and potentially useful properties, phosphate tungsten bronzes are
constantly being studied and attract a lot of attention. In the present work, two different …

Heteropoly compounds (HPCs) have been a matter of interest in basic and applied science
for more than a century. From their first synthesis, many advances have been made to …

The first objectives of Chemistry are the description of the reactions and the determination of
the composition of each compound involved in a process. Solid State Chemistry tries to …

A didactic review of (Raman, infrared and neutron) vibrational spectroscopy procedures to
study mobile protonic species (H 2 O, H 3 O+, H 5 O 2+,“H+”, NH 4+, etc.) in solid hydrates …

In this chapter, we discuss the proton conductivity and use of heteropoly acids (HPAs) in
proton exchange fuel cells. We first review the fundamental aspects of proton conduction in …

We evidence the structure-directing role of the PW12O403− polyoxometalate in porphyrinic
MOF synthesis whereby it promotes the formation of the kinetic topology. Its immobilization …

The effects of nano-SiO2 and nano-TiO2 fillers on a thin film silicotungstic acid (SiWA)–
H3PO4–poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) proton conducting polymer electrolyte were studied and …
