Solid-state proton conductors based on the use of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials as proton exchange membranes are being investigated as alternatives to the current state of the art. This study reports a new family of proton conductors based on MIL-101 and protic ionic liquid polymers (PILPs) containing different anions. By first installing protic ionic liquid (PIL) monomers inside the hierarchical pores of a highly stable MOF, MIL-101, then carrying out polymerization in situ, a series of PILP@MIL-101 composites was synthesized. The resulting PILP@MIL-101 composites not only maintain the nanoporous cavities and water stability of MIL-101, but the intertwined PILPs provide a number of opportunities for much-improved proton transport compared to MIL-101. The PILP@MIL-101 composite with HSO4- anions shows superprotonic conductivity (6.3 x 10(-2) S cm(-1)) at 85 degrees C and 98% relative humidity. The mechanism of proton conduction is proposed. In addition, the structures of the PIL monomers were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis, which reveals many strong hydrogen bonding interactions with O/N-H center dot center dot center dot O distances below 2.6 angstrom.
