“…In addition, studies that provide more detailed knowledge of vibrational mode assignments, such as those that combine computational methods and spectral measurements on model compounds [51], should continue, as they enable greater understanding to be derived from infrared spectra in relation to structure and function in PEM materials. Further use and development of in situ infrared methods for probing membrane-catalyst interactions in operating fuel cells [23,32,33] and on electrodes [21,22] would also be valuable.…”
