title: In situ crystallography of KHSO4: probing the kinetic pathway for the evolution of a pyrolysis reaction in the crystalline state.
abstract: Variable-temperature in situ crystallography on KHSO 4 shows that the pyrolysis of KHSO 4 to K 2S 2O 7 occurs via a three-step kinetic pathway monitored by crystal-to-crystal phase transitions while providing an explanation for the high proton conductivity to be due to the disordered hydrogen-bonding pattern.
