Alkaline anion exchange membrane (AEM) is the key material for anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFC), which can potentially outperform proton exchange membrane fuel cells due to facile oxygen reduction kinetics and wide catalyst choices. Quaternary ammonium (QA) AEMs have been shown to be low i...
