Short hydrogen-bond network confined on COF surfaces enables ultrahigh proton conductivity

When hydronium ions are enriched in confined water, short hydrogen bonds (SHBs) form due to the constrained space of excess protons between pairs of water molecules. Here authors demonstrate a SHB network confined on the surface of ionic COF membranes with tunable -SO3H groups, with proton conductiv...
