The method comprises wetting the membrane with a liquid such that a film of the liquid forms on at least a portion of the membrane, the film contacting at least a portion of the catalyst. The method further comprises exposing the wetted membrane to at least one soluble gas, wherein at least a portion of the soluble gas dissolves into the liquid.
