	abstract = {<p>A proton conducting metallogel [FNPA; ferric nitrate (FN)-phytic acid (PA)] is synthesized by immobilizing a protogenic ligand (phytic acid) using iron(III) nitrate in DMF. The xerogel shows high proton conductivity of 2.4 x 10(-2) S cm(-1) at 120 degrees C, the best value known among all metal organic materials (MOMs). Marking the first such attempt in MOMs, an electrode made using the xerogel showed a power density of 0.94 mW cm(-2) at 0.6 V under dry fuel cell conditions.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Mechanochemistry has become an increasingly important synthetic tool for a waste-free environment. However, the poor quality of the so-derived materials in terms of their crystallinity and porosity has been their major drawback for any practical applications. In this report, we have for the first time successfully leveraged such characteristics to show that the mechanochemically synthesized bipyridine based covalent organic framework (COF) outperforms its conventional solvothermal counterpart as an efficient solid-state electrolyte in PEM fuel cells. Marking the first such attempt in COFs, a Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) fabricated using the mechanochemically synthesized COF was observed to inhibit the fuel crossover and build up a stable Open Circuit Voltage (OCV = 0.93 V at 50 degrees C), thereby establishing itself as an effective solid electrolyte material (with a proton conductivity of 1.4 x 10(-2) S cm(-1)), while the solvothermally synthesized COF proved ineffective under similar conditions.</p>},
