Drawing inspiration from the microstructural design of Nafion, we developed a series of side-chain imidazolium-functionalized anion exchange membranes (AEMs), employing the chemically stable polyethersulfone (PES) as the base polymer. Functionalization of PES side chains with chloromethyl groups, followed by C2-substituted imidazolium modification, enabled precise tuning of the membrane's physicochemical properties and structural characteristics.

Notably, the DIM-PES-1.0 AEM demonstrated high alkaline stability, substantially retaining its electrocatalytic activity across 15 cycles, in contrast to the rapid degradation observed in FAA-3-PK-130 AEM after only three cycles.

Because of significantly reducing and optimizing experimental workload, high-throughput screening calculations combined with non-equilibrium dynamics simulations become an important tool for evaluating the newly designed materials for membranes. Among them, two-dimensional MXene, which have uniform pore size distribution and high permeability, were expected to separate hydrogen isotopes by membrane process.

Herein, Monte Carlo combined with equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations was initially used for large-scale calculation to screen out ideal membrane candidates from 730 types of MXenes.
