The membrane was hot-pressed between two electrodes at cm after the evaporation of the solvent. The membrane was hot-pressed between two electrodes at 120 ◦C and 10 atm for 7 min. The cell was fed by hydrogen (H ) and air with a backpressure of 1 atm. 120 °C and 10 atm for 7 min. The cell was fed by hydrogen (H2)2 and air with a backpressure of 1 atm. The humidification of the cell was accomplished by bubbling the fed gases through stainless steel The humidification of the cell was accomplished by bubbling the fed gases through stainless steel cylinders incorporated in the compact system and containing distilled water. The temperature of the cylinders incorporated in the compact system and containing distilled water. The temperature of the humidifiers, as well as that of the cell, was properly set to achieve the desired relative humidity. In situ humidifiers, as well as that of the cell, was properly set to achieve the desired relative humidity. In electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed with the 880 Impedance Analyzer in the situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed with the 880 Impedance Analyzer 10 KHz–1 Hz frequency range. The amplitude of the sine wave was chosen to be 5% of the DC current in the 10 KHz–1 Hz frequency range.
