Mixed Ionic and Electronic Conductivity in a Tetrathiafulvalene-Phosphonate Metal-Organic Framework.

ABSTRACT: Mixed ionic-electronic conductors have great potential as materials for energy storage applications. However, despite their promising properties, only a handful of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide efficient pathways for both ion and electron transport. This work reports a proton-electron dual-conductive MOF based on tetrathiafulvalene(TTF)-phosphonate linkers and lanthanum ions. The formation of regular, partially oxidized TTF stacks with short S···S interactions facilitates electron transport via a hopping mechanism, reporting a room-temperature conductivity of 7.2 × 10^-6 S cm^-1. Additionally, the material exhibits a proton conductivity of 4.9 × 10^-5 S cm^-1 at 95% relative humidity conditions due to the presence of free -POH groups, enabl
