Abstract
A flow cell of novel design was used to follow the changes occurring in cation-loaded Nafion films in response to variations of the humidity of a nitrogen purge gas flowing through the cell. The structural changes occurring due to the binding of water to these cation-exchanged membranes was followed across a broad range of water contents using infrared difference spectroscopy. Results demonstrate a complex role for water in mediating the polyanion-cation interactions.
