abstract = {In order to characterize high temperature polymer
electrolyte fuel cells (HT-PEFCs) in operando, neutron
radiography imaging, in combination with the deuterium
contrast method, was used to analyze the hydrogen
distribution and proton exchange processes in operando.
These measurements were then combined with the
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The
cell was operated under different current densities and
stoichiometries. Neutron images of the active area of the
cell were captured in order to study the changeover times
when the fuel supply was switched between hydrogen and
deuterium, as well as to analyze the cell during steady
state conditions. This work demonstrates that the changeover
from proton to deuteron (and vice versa) leads to local
varying media distributions in the electrolyte, independent
of the overall exchange dynamics. A faster
proton-to-deuteron exchange was re-discovered when switching
the gas supply from H<sub>2</sub> to D<sub>2</sub> than that
from D<sub>2</sub> to H<sub>2</sub>. Furthermore, the
D<sub>2</sub> uptake and discharge were faster at a higher
current density. Specifically, the changeover from H to D
takes 5–6 min at 200 mA cm<sup>−2</sup>, 2–3 min at
400 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> and 1–2 min at 600 mA
cm<sup>−2</sup>. An effect on the transmittance changes is
apparent when the stoichiometry changes},
