Abstract

New (1−x)CsH2PO4–xUiO-66 electrolytes with high proton conductivity and thermal stability at 230–250 °C were developed. The phase composition and proton conductivity of nanocomposites (x = 0–0.15) were investigated in detail. As shown, the UiO-66 matrix is thermally and chemically suitable for creating composites based on CsH2PO4. The CsH2PO4 crystal structure remains, but the degree of salt crystallinity changes in nanocomposites. As a result of interface interaction, dispersion, and partial salt amorphization, the proton conductivity of the composite increases by two orders of magnitude in the low-temperature range (up to 200 °C), depending on the UiO-66 fraction, and goes through a maximum. At higher temperatures, up to 250 °C, the conductivity of nanocomposites is close to the superprotonic values of the original salt at low UiO-66 values; then, it decreases linearly within one order of magnitude and drops sharply at x > 0.07. The stability of CsH2PO4-UiO-66 composites with high proton conductivity was shown. This creates prospects for their use as proton membranes in electrochemical devices.
