[Pour] les piles PEMFC, l'électrolyte est une membrane polymère ionique de type acide ; dans ce type d'électrolyte, les ions négatifs sont retenus dans la structure de la membrane. Seuls les ions hydrogène H+ sont mobiles et libres de transporter la charge positive à travers la membrane, de l'anode vers la cathode et c'est ce mouvement associé à la circulation des électrons qui est à l'origine du courant produit. 6, record 3, French, - membrane%20%C3%A9changeuse%20de%20protons
