Abstract
Bipolar membranes, a new type of composite ion exchange membrane, contain an anion exchange layer, a cation exchange layer and an interface layer. The interface layer or junction is the connection between the anion and cation exchange layers. Water is dissociated into protons and hydroxide ions at the junction, which provides solutions to many challenges in the chemical, environmental and energy fields. By combining bipolar membranes with electrodialysis technology, acids and bases could be produced with low cost and high efficiency. The interface layer or junction of bipolar membranes (BPMs) is the connection between the anion and cation exchange layers, which the membrane and interface layer modification are vital for improving the performance of BPMs. This paper reviews the effect of modification of a bipolar membrane interface layer on water dissociation efficiency and voltage across the membrane, which divides into three aspects: organic materials, inorganic materials and newly designed materials with multiple components. The structure of the interface layer is also introduced on the performance of bipolar membranes. In addition, the remainder of this review discusses the challenges and opportunities for the development of more efficient, sustainable and practical bipolar membranes.

Abstract
Freestanding bipolar membranes (BPMs) with an extended-area water splitting junction were fabricated utilizing electrospinning. The junction layer was composed of a mixed fiber mat that was made by concurrently electrospinning sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and quaternized poly(phenylene oxide) (QPPO), with water splitting catalyst nanoparticles intermittently deposited between the fibers. The mat was sandwiched between solution cast SPEEK and QPPO films and hot-pressed to form a dense trilayer BPM with an extended-area junction of finite thickness, composed of QPPO nanofibers embedded in a SPEEK matrix with the catalyst nanoparticles interspaced between the two polymers. The composition, ion-exchange capacity, and catalyst type/loading in the junction were varied, and the water splitting characteristics of the membranes were assessed. The best BPMs fabricated in this work employed a graphene oxide catalyst and exhibited a low trans-membrane voltage drop of about 0.82 V at 1000 mA/cm2 in water splitting experiments with 0.5 M Na2SO4 and stable water splitting operation for 60 h at 800 mA/cm2.
