Anion exchange membranes for alkaline fuel cells: A review

Merle, Géraldine, Wessling, Matthias, Nijmeijer, Kitty·2011·Journal of Membrane Science

Abstract

Recent years have seen extensive research on the preparation and properties of anion exchange membranes. Nevertheless, there is as yet no rigorous scientific classification of these membranes, and the methods of synthesis and characterization. The present review offers a practical classification based on the nature and the properties of anion exchange membranes for alkaline fuel cells, arrived at studying the relevant literature. This review also contains a description and assessment of all polymeric materials potentially suitable for use in alkaline fuel cells, and of their specific properties. Although there is ample literature on anion exchange membranes for various other applications, such as electrodialysis, the number of publications reporting alkaline fuel cell performance is still relatively low compared to their acidic homologues, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Two tables at the end of the manuscript offer the reader a comprehensive overview by listing all reviewed commercial and non-commercial anion exchange membranes. Suggestions for further research such as elucidation of the ionic transport mechanisms, AFC testing and important issues like the chemical stability and ionic conductivity are addressed as well.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
