Abstract
What a waste! A highly effective proton-conducting biopolymer has been prepared from imidazole and chitin phosphate, which is an environmentally benign, low-cost, and commonly discarded biopolymer (see picture). The composite material has a conductivity of 7 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 150°C under anhydrous (water-free) conditions.
