“…[20] Moreover, the pKa values of 1,2,4-triazole (pKa 1 = 2.39, pKa 2 = 9.97) are obviously lower than those of imidazole (pKa 1 = 7.18, pKa 2 = 14.52), indicating that 1,2,4-triazole is easier to dissociate proton compared with imidazole. [21] Considering the above features of molybdenum oxides and triazole in the construction of proton-conducting material, we re-synthesized two triazole-modified molybdenum oxides using Na 2 MoO 4 ⋅ 2H 2 O and 1,2,4triazole or 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole under optimized synthetic conditions, [22,23] , and investigated their proton-conducting performances. The alternating current (AC) impedance measurements showed that 1 and 2 have high proton conductivities of 1.94 × 10 À 2 S cm À 1 (85°C, 95 % RH) and 1.3 × 10 À 3 S cm À 1 (65°C, 95 % RH), respectively.…”
