Electro-osmosis, the transport of water with protons, in polymer electrolyte fuel cell membranes is important because it effects water management within an operating cell on both a global and local level. The electro-osmotic drag coefficient is the number of water molecules transported per proton and is a quantitative measure of the extent to which electro-osmosis occurs in a given polymer electrolyte. The methods for which electro-osmotic drag coefficients have been determined are reported. An effort is made to report proton electro-osmotic drag coefficients extensively, while a few non-proton cation electro-osmotic drag coefficients have been chosen for illustrative purposes. The results reported have implications for fuel cell performance and in the development and characterization of new polymer electrolyte membranes. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
