![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Toward protic ionic liquid and organic ionic plastic crystal electrolytes for fuel cells Toward protic ionic liquid and organic ionic plastic crystal electrolytes for fuel cells](/preview/png/187947.png)
There is increasing demand for the development of anhydrous proton conducting electrolytes, most notably to allow the development of fuel cells that can operate at temperatures above 120 °C, without the need for constant and controlled humidification. The emerging field of protic ionic liquids (PILs) represents a promising new direction for this research and the development of these materials has made significant progress in recent years. In a related but as yet little-explored avenue, proton conducting organic ionic plastic crystals offer the potential advantage of providing a solid state matrix for anhydrous proton conductivity. Here we discuss the recent progress in these areas and identify the key challenges for future research.

► Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells that can operate above 120 °C, without humidification, would be much more commercially viable.
► Protic ionic liquids and organic ionic plastic crystals are showing increasing promise as anhydrous proton conductors in fuel cells.
► Here we review the recent progress in these two areas.
