1. A humidity control electrolyzer cell comprising;
a) an ion exchange medium;
b) an anode;
c) a cathode;
wherein the anode and cathode are configured on opposing sides of the ion exchange medium;
wherein the ion exchange medium comprises an anion conducting ionomer comprising quaternary ammonium functional groups,
wherein the ion exchange medium is a discontinuous ionomer having a discontinuous ionomer layer, wherein the discontinuous ionomer has a lower affinity for water than a remaining portion of the discontinuous ionomer layer;
wherein the discontinuous ionomer is configured between the anode and cathode; and
wherein the discontinuous ionomer has an anode ionomer layer, a cathode ionomer layer and a discontinuous layer configured between the anode ionomer layer and the cathode ionomer layer.
