Abstract

Under the impetus of “dual-carbon” goals

efficient and low-cost green hydrogen production technologies have become a key to energy transition. Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) technology can combine the advantage of low-cost of alkaline water electrolysis with the high efficiency and compactness of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis

showing great potential for development. The hydroxide ion conduction mechanism in the anion exchange membrane of AEMWE was systematically elaborated. The structure-performance relationship between key structural components such as the polymer backbone and cationic groups and the conductivity

stability and mechanical properties of AEMWE was deeply analyzed. Three major optimization strategies for enhancing overall membrane performance were reviewed: Constructing microphase-separated structures to optimize ion transport channels; introducing cross-linked networks to synergistically improve conductivity and dimensional stability; developing all-carbon-backbone polymers to strengthen intrinsic alkaline stability. Additionally

the mainstream preparation techniques from solution casting to photopolymerization and their effects on membrane properties were outlined. Finally

future challenges and potential research directions for anion exchange membrane materials were prospected

aiming to provide references for the further advancement of AEMWE technology for hydrogen production.
