title: Non-humidified proton conduction between a Lewis acid-base pair.
abstract: Proton conduction in zirconium sulphate (ZrSO4) composed of a Lewis acid-base pair was studied. ZrSO4 exhibits non-humidified proton conductivity, comparable to other proton conductors under similar conditions. Ab initio calculation shows that a proton transfers in ZrSO4 from a Lewis acid to a Lewis base without a proton carrier.
