Abstract

<p>This paper overviews the local structures and dynamics of imidazole (Im) in proton-conducting poly (vinylphosphonic acid)-Im (PVPA-xIm) composites investigated by density functional theory calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. These calculations propose the proton conduction mechanism of PVPA-xIm based on Grotthuss-type mechanism consisting the following processes: proton transfers from PVPA to Im and between Im, and the reorientation of Im in the hydrogen-bond Im cluster.</p>
