In the case of the tinderivative, an amorphous compound, Sn(C4H11O8NP2)0.75Cl2.5(H2O)2.5 (Sn4+- BPMGLY), was obtainedby hydrothermal synthesis. Its pyrolytic treatment at 700 ºC in air led to an amorphous pyrophosphate, (Sn4+-BPMGLY@700). Regarding cobalt phosphonates, three crystalline phases with composition[Co(C4H9O8NP2(H2O)2]·nH2O (n=0, 2) were obtained and their crystal structure were solved. All familieswere extensively studied as proton conductors across a wide range of temperature and humidityconditions, displaying the Sn4+ derivatives the highest conductivity values of 7.99·10-4 and 6.63·10-3 S·cm-1 forSn4+-BPMGLY and Sn4+-BPMGLY@700, respectively, at 95 °C and 95% relative humidity (RH) (Figure 1a).Furthermore, the cobalt phosphonates were utilized as precursors for non-precious metal catalysts(NPMCs), by pyrolysis in 5%-H2/Ar at different temperatures and studied as electrocatalysts towardsthe oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) YR 2023 FD 2023 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/27845 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/27845 LA eng NO Universidad de Málaga.
