abstract = {The present study focuses on quasielastic neutron
scattering (QENS) of the proton dynamics in phosphoric acid
(PA) inside the catalytic layer of high-temperature polymer
electrolyte fuel cells (HT-PEFCs). The nanosecond proton
dynamics is investigated on the local length scale around
operating temperatures (300 K–430 K) using neutron
backscattering spectroscopy. We have investigated the
catalyst doped with different amounts of PA in order to
understand the distribution of PA inside the layer. Three
approaches are considered for the description of proton
dynamics: the random jump diffusion model, distribution of
diffusion constants and, finally, the trap model. Due to
adsorption of the PA on the Pt particles the diffusion of
protons in the catalytic layer is different in comparison to
the bulk acid. The proton dynamics in the catalytic layer
can be described by the random jump diffusion with traps.
This diffusion is significantly slower than the diffusion of
free PA; this also results in a lower conductivity, which is
estimated from the obtained diffusion constant.},
