Measurement Notes:
  1. 1 Measurements were performed on membranes conditioned at 23 °C and 50% relative humidity (RH).
  2. 2 Conductivity was measured at 23 °C and 100% RH.
  3. 3 Hydrogen crossover was determined at 23 °C and 100% RH.
  4. 4 Hydrogen crossover current was measured in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) with H₂ as the feed gas, at 80 °C under fully humidified conditions.
  5. 5 Water content of the membrane was quantified after conditioning at 23 °C and 50% RH (reported on a dry weight basis).
  6. 6 Water uptake was assessed by exposing dry membranes to water at 100 °C for 1 hour, with results reported on a dry weight basis.
