Abstract
Membrane with remarkable proton conductance and selectivity plays a key role in obtaining high vanadium flow battery (VFB) performance. In this work, the trade-off effect between proton conductance and vanadium ion blocking was overcome by the introduction of a cross-linking structure to prepare covalent cross-linked fluorine-containing sulfonated polyimide (CFSPI-PVA) membranes. Herein, the CFSPI-PVA-15 membrane possesses excellent comprehensive properties, including acceptable area resistance (0.21 Ω cm2), lower vanadium ion permeability (0.76 × 10-7 cm2 min-1), and remarkable proton selectivity (3.11 × 105 min cm-3) compared with the commercial Nafion 212 membrane. At the same time, the CFSPI-PVA-15 membrane exhibits higher coulomb efficiencies (97.26%-99.34%) and energy efficiencies (68.65%-88.11%) and a longer self-discharge duration (29.2 h) in contrast with the Nafion 212 membrane. Moreover, 500 cycles of the CFSPI-PVA-15 membrane at 160 mA cm-2 are also stably executed. The internal reasons for the improved chemical stability of the CFSPI-PVA-15 membrane are clarified from theoretical calculations with the mean square displacement value and fractional free volume. Therefore, the CFSPI-PVA-15 membrane exhibits great potential for application in VFB.

Abstract
The incorporation of mechanically interlocked structures into polymer backbones has been shown to confer remarkable functionalities to materials. In this work, a [c2]daisy chain unit based on dibenzo-24-crown-8 is covalently embedded into the backbone of a polymer network, resulting in a synthetic material possessing remarkable shape-memory properties under thermal control. By decoupling the molecular structure into three control groups, we demonstrate the essential role of the [c2]daisy chain crosslinks in driving the shape memory function. The mechanically interlocked topology is found to be an essential element for the increase of glass transition temperature and consequent gain of shape memory function. The supramolecular host-guest interactions within the [c2]daisy chain topology not only ensure robust mechanical strength and good network stability of the polymer, but also impart the shape memory polymer with remarkable shape recovery properties and fatigue resistance ability. The incorporation of the [c2]daisy chain unit as a building block has the potential to lay the groundwork for the development of a wide range of shape-memory polymer materials.

Abstract
The global rapid transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy resources necessitates the implementation of long-duration energy storage technologies owing to the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. Therefore, the deployment of grid-scale energy storage systems is inevitable. Sulfur-based batteries can be exploited as excellent energy storage devices owing to their intrinsic safety, low cost of raw materials, low risk of environmental hazards, and highest theoretical capacities (gravimetric: 2600 Wh/kg and volumetric: 2800 Wh/L). However, sulfur-based batteries exhibit certain scientific limitations, such as polysulfide crossover, which causes rapid capacity decay and low Coulombic efficiency, thereby hindering their implementation at a commercial scale. In this review article, we focus on the latest research developments between 2012-2023 to improve the separators/membranes and overcome the shuttle effect associated with them. Various categories of ion exchange membranes (IEMs) used in redox batteries, particularly polysulfide redox flow batteries and lithium-sulfur batteries, are discussed in detail. Furthermore, advances in IEM constituents are summarized to gain insights into different fundamental strategies for attaining targeted characteristics, and a critical analysis is proposed to highlight their efficiency in mitigating sulfur cross-shuttling issues. Finally, future prospects and recommendations are suggested for future research toward the fabrication of more effective membranes with desired properties.

Abstract
Anion exchange membranes with high anion conductivity are highly desired for electrochemical applications. Increasing ion exchange capacity is a straightforward approach to enhancing anion conductivity but faces a challenge in dimensional stability. Herein, we report the design and preparation of three kinds of isoreticular covalent organic framework (COF) membranes bearing tunable quaternary ammonium group densities as anion conductors. Therein, the cationic groups are integrated into the backbones by flexible ether-bonded alkyl side chains. The highly quaternary ammonium-group-functionalized building units endow COF membranes with abundant cationic groups homogeneously distributed in the ordered channels. The flexible side chains alleviate electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance caused by large cationic groups, ensuring a tight interlayer stacking and multiple interactions. As a result, our COF membranes achieve a high ion exchange capacity and exceptional dimensional stability simultaneously. Furthermore, the effect of the ionic group density on the ion conductivity in rigid COF channels is systematically explored. Experiments and simulations reveal that the ionic group concentration and side chain mobility jointly determine the ion transport behavior, resulting in the abnormal phenomenon that the anion conductivity is not positively correlated to the ionic group density. The optimal COF membrane achieves the ever-reported highest hydroxide ion conductivity over 300 mS cm-1 at 80 °C and 100% RH. This study offers insightful guidelines on the rational design and preparation of high-performance anion conductors.

Abstract
Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have emerged as a promising alternative to proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) due to their adaptability to low-cost stack components and non-noble-metals catalysts. However, the poor alkaline resistance and low OH- conductivity of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) have impeded the large-scale implementation of AEMFCs. Herein, the preparation of a new type of AEMs with crown ether macrocycles in their main chains via a one-pot superacid catalyzed reaction was reported. The study aimed to examine the influence of crown ether cavity size on the phase separation structure, ionic conductivity and alkali resistance of anion exchange membranes. Attributed to the self-assembly of crown ethers, the poly (crown ether) (PCE) AEMs with dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether (QAPCE-18-6) exhibit an obvious phase separated structure and a maximum OH- conductivity of 122.5 mS cm-1 at 80 °C (ionic exchange capacity is 1.51 meq g-1). QAPCE-18-6 shows a good alkali resistance with the OH- conductivity retention of 94.5% albeit being treated in a harsh alkali condition. Moreover, the hydrogen/oxygen single cell equipped with QAPCE-18-6 can achieve a peak power density (PPD) of 574 mW cm-2 at a current density of 1.39 A cm-2.

In these types of systems, the anodic oxidation reaction is catalyzed by anaerobic microorganisms, while the cathodic reduction reaction can be carried out biotically or abiotically. Membranes as separators in MFCs are the primary requirements for optimal electrochemical and microbiological performance. MFC configuration and operation are similar to those of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs)-both having at least one anode and one cathode split by a membrane or separator. The Nafion® 117 (NF-117) membrane, made from perfluorosulfonic acid, is a membrane used as a separator in PEMFCs. By analogy of the operation between electrochemical systems and MFCs, NF-117 membranes have been widely used as separators in MFCs. The main disadvantage of this type of membrane is its high cost; membranes in MFCs can represent up to 60% of the MFC's total cost. This is one of the challenges in scaling up MFCs: finding alternative membranes or separators with low cost and good electrochemical characteristics. The aim of this work is to critically review state-of-the-art membranes and separators used in MFCs. The scope of this review includes: (i) membrane functions in MFCs, (ii) most-used membranes, (iii) membrane cost and efficiency, and (iv) membrane-less MFCs. Currently, there are at least 20 different membranes or separators proposed and evaluated for MFCs, from basic salt bridges to advanced synthetic polymer-based membranes, including ceramic and unconventional separator materials. Studies focusing on either low cost or the use of natural polymers for proton-exchange membranes (PEM) are still scarce. Alternatively, in some works, MFCs have been operated without membranes; however, significant decrements in Coulombic efficiency were found. As the type of membrane affects the performance and total cost of MFCs, it is recommended that research efforts are increased in order to develop new, more economic membranes that exhibit favorable properties and allow for satisfactory cell performance at the same time. The current state of the art of membranes for MFCs addressed in this review will undoubtedly serve as a key insight for future research related to this topic.

Abstract
Highly conductive anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) are desirable for applications in various energy storage and conversion technologies. However, conventional AEMs with bulky HCO3 - or Br- as counterion generally exhibit low conductivity because the covalent bonding restrains the tethered cationic group's mobility and rotation. Here, we report an alternative polyrotaxane AEM with nontethered and free-shuttling phosphonium cation. As proved by temperature-dependent NMR, solid-state NMR, and molecular dynamics simulation, the phosphonium cation possesses a thermally trigged shuttling behavior, broader extension range, and greater mobility, thus accelerating the diffusion conduction of bulky anions. Owing to this striking feature, high HCO3 - conductivity of 105 mS cm-1 at 90°C was obtained at a relatively lower ion-exchange capacity of 1.17 mmol g-1. This study provides a new concept for developing highly conductive anion-exchange membranes and will catalyze the exploration of new applications for polyrotaxanes in ion conduction processes.

Abstract
Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) performance have significantly improved in the last decade (>1 W cm-2 ), and is now comparable with that of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). At high current densities, issues in the catalyst layer (CL, composed of catalyst and ionomer), like oxygen transfer, water balance, and microstructural evolution, play important roles in the performance. In addition, CLs for AEMFCs have different requirements than for PEMFCs, such as chemical/physical stability, reaction mechanism, and mass transfer, because of different conductive media and pH environment. The anion exchange ionomer (AEI), which is the soluble or dispersed analogue of the anion exchange membrane (AEM), is required for hydroxide transport in the CL and is normally handled separately with the electrocatalyst during the electrode fabrication process. The importance of the AEI-catalyst interface in maximizing the utilization of electrocatalyst and fuel/oxygen transfer process must be carefully investigated. This review briefly covers new concepts in the complex AEMFC catalyst layer, before a detailed discussion on advances in CLs based on the design of AEIs and electrocatalysts. The importance of the structure-function relationship is highlighted with the aim of directing the further development of CLs for high-performance AEMFC.

Abstract
This study intends to provide new TiO2/phosphorous-functionalized cellulose acetate (Ph-CA) nanocomposite membranes for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). A series of TiO2/Ph-CA membranes were fabricated via solution casting technique using a systematic variation of TiO2 nanoparticle content. Chemical structure, morphological changes, and thermal properties of the as-fabricated nanocomposite membranes were investigated by FTIR, TGA, SEM, and AFM analysis tools. Further, membranes' performance, mechanical properties, water uptake, thermal-oxidative stability, and methanol permeability were also evaluated. The results clarified that the ion-exchange capacity (IEC) of the developed nanocomposite membranes improved and reached a maximum value of 1.13 and 2.01 meq/g at 25 and 80 °C, respectively, using TiO2 loading of 5 wt % compared to 0.6 and 0.81 meq/g for pristine Ph-CA membrane at the same temperature. Moreover, the TiO2/Ph-CA nanocomposite exhibited excellent thermal stability with appreciable mechanical properties (49.9 MPa). The developed membranes displayed a lower methanol permeability of 0.98 × 10-16 cm2 s-1 compared to 1.14 × 10-9 cm2 s-1 for Nafion 117. The obtained results suggested that the developed nanocomposite membranes could be potentially applied as promising polyelectrolyte membranes for possible use in DMFCs.

Abstract
Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are a crucial constituent for alkaline fuel cells. As the core component of fuel cells, the low performance AEMs restrict the development and application of the fuel cells. Herein, the trade-off between the OH- conductivity and dimensional stability was solved by constructing AEMs with adequate OH- conductivity and satisfactory alkali resistance using Tröger's base (TB) poly (crown ether)s (PCEs) as the main chain, the embedded quaternary ammonium (QA) and Na+-functionalized crown ether units as the cationic group. Crown ether is an electron donator, and can capture Na+ to form Na+-functionalized crown ether units to conveniently transfer OH- and significantly promote the alkaline stability of the AEMs. The influence of the Na+-functionalized crown ether units on the performance of AEMs was studied in detail. The PCEs based AEMs show an obvious hydrophobic-hydrophilic microphase separation. These features make them ideal platforms for the OH- conduction applications. As expected, the as-prepared PCEs-QA-100% (100% is the degree of cross-linking) AEM with an ionic exchange capacity (IEC) of 2.07 meq g-1 has a high OH- conductivity of 159 mS cm-1 at 80 °C. Furthermore, the membrane electrode assemblies fabricated using the PCEs-QA-100% AEM possess a maximum power density of 291 mW cm-2 under the current density of 500 mA cm-2.

Abstract
The development of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) is hindered by the trade-off of ionic conductivity, alkaline stability, and mechanical properties. Tröger's base polymers (Tb-polymers) are recognized as promising membrane materials to overcome these obstacles. Herein, the AEMs made from Tb-poly(crown ether)s (Tb-PCEs) show good comprehensive performance. The influence of crown ether on the conductivity and alkaline stability of AEMs has been investigated in detail. The formation of hydronium ion-crown ether complexes and an obvious microphase-separated structure formed by the existence of crown ether can enhance the conductivity of the AEMs. The maximum OH- conductivity of 141.5 mS cm-1 is achieved from the Tb-PCEs based AEM (Tb-PCE-1) at 80 °C in ultrapure water. The ion-dipole interaction of the Na+ with crown ether can protect the quaternary ammonium from the attack of OH- to improve the alkaline stability of AEMs. After 675 h of alkaline treatment, the OH- conductivity of Tb-PCE-1 decreases by only 6%. The Tb-PCE-1-based single cell shows a peak power density of 0.202 W cm-2 at 80 °C. The prominent physicochemical properties are attributed to the well-developed microstructure of the Tb-PCEs, as revealed by TEM, AFM, and SAXS observations.

Abstract
Designing artificial molecular machines to execute complex mechanical tasks, like coupling rotation and translation to accomplish transmission of motion, continues to provide important challenges. Herein, we demonstrated a novel molecular machine comprising a second-generation light-driven molecular motor and a bistable [1]rotaxane unit. The molecular motor can rotate successfully even in an interlocked [1]rotaxane system through a photoinduced cis-to -trans isomerization and a thermal helix inversion, resulting in concomitant transitional motion of the [1]rotaxane. The transmission process was elucidated via 1H NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and 2D ROESY NMR spectroscopies, UV-visible absorption spectrum, and density functional theory calculations. This is the first demonstration of a molecular motor to rotate against the appreciably noncovalent interactions between dibenzo-24-crown-8 and N-methyltriazolium moieties comprising the rotaxane unit, showing operational capabilities of molecular motors to perform more complex tasks.

Abstract
Poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)s (PPOs)-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) with four of the most widely investigated head groups were prepared. Through a combination of experimental and simulation approaches, the effects of the different types of head groups on the properties of the AEMs, including hydroxide conductivity, water content, physicochemical stability, and fuel cell device performance were fully explored. Unlike other studies, in which the conductivity was mostly investigated in liquid water, the conductivity of the PPO-based AEMs in 95% relative humidity (RH) conditions as well as in liquid water was investigated. The conductivity trend in 95% RH condition was different from that in liquid water but corresponded well with the actual cell performance trend observed, suggesting that the AEM fuel cell performance under in situ cell conditions (95% RH, 60 °C, H2/O2) is more closely related to the conductivity measured ex situ under 95% RH conditions (60 °C) than in liquid water. On the basis of the conductivity data and molecular simulation results, it was concluded that the predominant hydroxide ion-conducting mechanism in liquid water differs from that in the operating fuel cell environment, where the ionomers become hydrated only as a result of water vapor transported into the cells.

Abstract
The creation of interconnected ionic nanoaggregates within solid electrolytes is a crucial yet challenging task for fabricating high-performance alkaline fuel cells. Herein, we present a facile and generic approach to embedding ionic nanoaggregates via predesigned hybrid core-shell nanoarchitecture within nonionic polymer membranes as follows: (i) synthesizing core-shell nanoparticles composed of SiO2/densely quaternary ammonium-functionalized polystyrene. Because of the spatial confinement effect of the SiO2 "core", the abundant hydroxide-conducting groups are locally aggregated in the functionalized polystyrene "shell", forming ionic nanoaggregates bearing intrinsic continuous ion channels; (ii) embedding these ionic nanoaggregates (20-70 wt %) into the polysulfone matrix to construct interconnected hydroxide-conducting channels. The chemical composition, physical morphology, amount, and distribution of the ionic nanoaggregates are facilely regulated, leading to highly connected ion channels with high effective ion mobility comparable to that of the state-of-the-art Nafion. The resulting membranes display strikingly high hydroxide conductivity (188.1 mS cm-1 at 80 °C), which is one of the highest results to date. The membranes also exhibit good mechanical properties. The independent manipulation of the conduction function and nonconduction function by the ionic nanoaggregates and nonionic polymer matrix, respectively, opens a new avenue, free of microphase separation, for designing high-performance solid electrolytes for diverse application realms.
