The article is entitled “Water Dynamics of Superacid Aromatic Proton Exchange Membranes for Fuel Cell Applications”
Water dynamics in hydrated proton exchange membranes (PEMs) impact the performance of electrochemical devices like fuel cells. This paper quantifies the fraction of bulk-like water and bound water in three PEMS and the timescales of water motion in each to identify the best hydration environments for proton transport. Please see the link below to read about how polymer chemistry influences the water environment and the proton conductivity in PEMs and how this might be considered in the design of PEMs.
