Abstract: Several investigations have indicated that proton conduction and hydration properties of acidic ionomers differ from those of membranes. However, relations between the OH^- conductivity and water uptake in thin film forms of anion exchange membranes have not been reported yet. For this study, new in situ measurements were established to elucidate the OH^- conductivity and water uptake without allowing any influence of CO_2 from the air. Poly[(9,9-bis(6′-(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-hexyl)-9H-fluorene)-alt-(1,4-benzene)], denoted as PFB^+, was synthesized as a model ionomer. The highest OH^- conductivity of 273-nm-thick PFB^+ film is 5.3 × 10^-2 S cm^-1 at 25°C under 95% relative humidity (RH), which is comparable to the reported OH^- conductivity of PFB^+ membrane. Reduced OH^- conductivity was found in the thinner film at 95% RH. The decreased OH^- conductivity is explainable by the reduced number of water molecules contained in the thinner film. The OH^- conductivity was reduced only slightly under the same water uptake.
