Self-assembled multicomponent Pd6 aggregates showing low-humidity proton conduction

Abstract

Two Pd6 molecular aggregates (1 and 2), self-sorted via a template-free three-component self-assembly process, represent new examples of discrete architectures exhibiting very high proton conductivity [0.78 × 10−3 S cm−1 (1) and 0.22 × 10−3 S cm−1 (2)] at 300 K at low relative humidity (∼46%) with low activation energy comparable to that of currently used Nafion in fuel cells.
