Nafion membranes suffer high resistance due to dehydration when they are used at elevated temperatures (>100degreesC) and atmospheric pressures (Nafion 1135 > 0.6 Ohm cm(2) at 120degreesC and 31% relative humidity). Thinner composite membranes containing Nafion and zirconium hydrogen phosphate, Zr(HPO4)(2), were prepared and showed lower resistance (<0.3 Ohm cm(2)) at these conditions. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the composite membrane was stable below 200degreesC in oxygen. Hydrogen crossover of a 18 mum thick composite membrane was only 2 mA/cm(2) at 120degreesC. When the temperature of a cell using this membrane was raised from 80degreesC (100% relative humidity) to 120degreesC (31% relative humidity), the main performance loss at the elevated temperature was from low protonic conductivity and low oxygen permeability in the cathode catalyst layer and dehydration of the membrane.
