abstract = {Phosphoric acid is amphoteric and has been used to dope
basic polymer, e.g. polybenzimidazole, membranes and acidic
polymer, e.g. perfluorosulfonic acid, membranes. Both
membrane systems exhibit high proton conductivities at
temperatures above 100 °C under anhydrous conditions. The
former has been developed into a commercial fuel cell
technology while the latter can only deliver a few mA cm−2
in fuel cells and hydrogen pumping cells. In this work, it
is experimentally verified that the current window of acid
doped perfluorosulfonic acid membranes in electrochemical
cells under dry conditions is limited by the migration of
H4PO4+ species in combination with the slow H3PO4 diffusion.
The phosphoric acid dynamics were monitored in a cell
equipped with integrated reference electrodes in the
electrolyte membrane, which allowed for quantification of
the phosphoric acid in different membrane segments. From the
time-resolved measurements, the H4PO4+ transference number
was found to be as high as $52\%$ under dry conditions. In
combination with the slow H3PO4 back-diffusion, which was
5–6 orders of magnitude lower than that of water, the
migration of H4PO4+ towards the cathode results in rapid
resistance increase at the anode-membrane interface,
ultimately leading to the cell failure.},
