Abstract
Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) have attracted tremendous research interest in cost-effective alkaline energy devices such as AEM fuel cells (AEMFCs) and AEM water electrolyzers (AEMWEs) due to the feasible utilization of earth-abundant non-noble catalysts. AEM-based energy devices are intended to supersede costly platinum-group-metal (PGM)-containing acidic energy systems and provide a low-cost pathway for sustainable energy conversion and utilization [1]. However, insufficient ion conductivity and poor chemical & mechanical stability of AEMs have…
