Abstract

Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) enable the selective transport of anions, playing a crucial role in renewable electrochemical energy conversion technologies. Recent decades have witnessed significant breakthroughs in AEM design strategies, synthesis methodologies, and performance optimization. Unfortunately, moving from fundamental research to commercialization remains a huge challenge despite the great market demand for AEM. In this review, we first discuss the current technological requirements and analyze the state of AEM. Then, we focus on the bottlenecks encountered and solved in scaling up chemical reactions and implementing roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing processes. Finally, we prospect the future development of commercial AEM from the monomer structure-membrane stability relationships, mechanism understanding in amplification polymerization, and environment and cost-effectiveness assessments. This comprehensive analysis aims to bridge the gap between fundamental research and the commercialization of AEM and to accelerate the deployment of AEM in relevant technologies.

能源装置用阴离子交换膜商业化的瓶颈
阴离子交换膜(AEMs)能够实现阴离子的选择性传输,在可再生电化学能量转换技术中起着至关重要的作用。近几十年来,在AEM设计策略、合成方法和性能优化方面取得了重大突破。不幸的是,尽管AEM的市场需求巨大,但从基础研究到商业化仍然是一个巨大的挑战。在本文中,我们首先讨论了当前的技术需求,并分析了AEM的现状。然后,我们专注于在扩大化学反应和实施卷对卷(R2R)制造过程中遇到和解决的瓶颈。最后,从单体结构-膜稳定性关系、扩增聚合机理、环境和成本效益评价等方面展望了AEM商业化的发展前景。这项综合分析旨在弥合基础研究与AEM商业化之间的差距,并加速AEM在相关技术中的部署。
