Abstract

Water states in proton exchange membranes have previously been extracted using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) for thick Nafion membranes. In this work, we have developed a parametric based algorithm for data analysis and applied it to thin industrially relevant membranes (13-70μm), processed under different conditions, producing results consistent with conventional gravimetric analysis and prior demonstrations. This therefore opens up opportunities for rapid membrane investigations and understanding.
