Abstract:
A crown-type tetranuclear Ag-POM, Na24[Ag3.4Na0.6(As4W40O140)]·82H2O (1), was synthesized based on the structural features of {As4W40} using simple materials through the hydrothermal method. The polyanion of compound 1 consists of a tetranuclear silver cluster embedded in the cyclic ligand {As4W40} and the polyanions linked by Na+ to form a 3D framework. Moreover, compound 1 exhibits excellent proton conductivity, with an optimal conductivity of 2.24 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 90% RH, 358 K. Furthermore, it demonstrates outstanding cycling stability during heating-cooling cycles and durability over 68 h.

In a practical conductor, an applied electric field may be sustained, causing a flow of electrons, which produce a current. The differential form of the current, the current density, is related to the electric field.
More generally, it is related to the force per unit charge, which involves the...
