Siracusano et al. explored the performance of chemically stabilized Aquivion proton exchange membranes, specifically designed for high current density operations in water electrolysis cells. 36 The durability test carried out at 3 A cm −2 for the extruded membrane showed a voltage increase rate of about 30 μV h −1 over 1000 hours.
Moreover, proton exchange membranes are prone to dehydration in high temperature and dry environments, resulting in the reduction of the cell performance. Because of the relatively harsh operating conditions of portable applications, it is not possible to maintain the best performance of the fuel cell.
