“…Much debate has arisen from inconclusive Brønsted‐acid‐proton locations at the different oxygen sites, such as terminal,24–26 bridging,18, 27, 28 or both,29, 30 based on various experimental and theoretical studies. On the other hand, intensive studies have also been undertaken to explore the acidic properties of HPW by using a variety of different techniques, such as Hammett indicators,31–33 thermal desorption,16, 33, 34 microcalorimetry,15–18, 35–38 hydrogen/deuterium exchange,39 FTIR19, 28, 40–43 and NMR spectroscopy,13–15, 20, 25, 26, 30, 38, 44–46 and theoretical density functional theory (DFT) calculations 47. Nevertheless, inconsistent conclusions can be found frequently in the literature, particularly regarding the strength and heterogeneity of acid sites in HPW.…”
