What makes a good proton conductor?

SMRTR summary

MIT researchers developed a model to predict proton mobility in metal oxides, identifying that oxygen ion flexibility and hydrogen bond length are the most critical factors for efficient proton conduction. Their findings could help design better materials for fuel cells, electrolyzers, and brain-inspired computing by screening existing databases or using AI to create optimized compounds for clean energy technologies.
