A method for treating a fuel cell membrane is described and which includes providing a fuel cell membrane which is not generating an electrical current output; and exposing the fuel cell membrane which is not generating an electrical current output to a nonambient environment which is effective to render the fuel cell membrane substantially immediately operable to generate at least about 80% of the maximum sustainable electrical power output of the fuel cell membrane when it is supplied with a source of fuel and an oxidant. The present invention also describes a fuel cell produced by the same methodology and a conditioned fuel cell membrane. |
