There exists a challenge to develop solid-state proton conductors with high conductivity not only at high working temperatures (>353 K) but at start-up temperature and even at subzero temperature (<273 K) in cold climates or high-altitude drones. Here we present a series of zirconium-organic xerogels (Zr/Fum-xerogels) with porosity and defectivity, supported by N₂ sorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), exhibiting a high anhydrous proton conductivity over the temperature range of 233 to 433 K. The anhydrous conductivity of Zr/Fum-xerogel-0.04 reaches 5.68 × 10⁻⁴ (233 K) and 2.5 × 10⁻² S cm⁻¹ (433 K), situating in the leading level of all anhydrous conductors reported to date. Further, the defective effects on acidities and conductive mechanisms of xerogels, especially structural changes of water clusters generated by varying temperatures are investigated by ion exchange capacity (IEC), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature programmed desorption of NH₃ (NH₃-TPD) and in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The zirconium-organic xerogels with outstanding conducting performance is further implemented as impedance sensor towards formic acid.
