Proton mobility in hydrates of inorganic acids and acid salts

Published data on the mechanisms of hydrogen ion transport in solids and aqueous solutions are described systematically, including defect formation, rotational mobility of proton-containing groups, proton hopping along a hydrogen bond, proton translational mobility, and proton conduction. Resorting to the authors" theoretical results and published data, the main criteria for the selection of systems possessing high proton mobility are formulated.
