Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>AC-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electrochemical methods were used to identify the proton conducting regions of Nafion membrane. It was found that the surface of Nafion membrane was constructed of small hydrophobic granular domains and that protons passed through the hydrophilic regions formed in the interstices between those domains.</jats:p>
