Investigating the suitability of poly tetraarylphosphonium based anion exchange membranes for electrochemical applications.

ABSTRACT: Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are becoming increasingly common in electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems around the world (EES). Proton-/cation-exchange membranes (which conduct positive charged ions such as H⁺ or Na⁺) have historically been used in many devices such as fuel cells, electrolysers, and redox flow batteries. High capital costs and the use of noble metal catalysts are two of the current major disadvantages of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM)-based systems. AEMs may be able to overcome the limitations of conventional PEMs. As a result, polymers with anion exchange properties have recently attracted a lot of attention due to their significant benefits in terms of transitioning from a highly acidic to an alkaline environment, high kinetics
