Conductive Porous Coordination Polymers: Electron, Ion, and Proton Conduction

For energy-related application, the change in energy platform toward sustainable and renewable sources demands the development of new materials. Conductive porous coordination polymers (PCPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted much interest because of their potential applications in electrocatalyst and electrochemical devices. In this article, we deal with the electron and ion conductive PCPs with representative examples. Specifically, we discuss the fundamental principle and the design strategies of materials for achieving the long-range charge transport and other future endeavors.
