Abstract
To address the "trade-off" between conductivity and stability of anion exchange membranes (AEMs), we developed a series of crosslinked AEMs by using polybenzimidazole with norbornene (cPBI-Nb) as backbone and the crosslinked structure was fabricated by adopting click chemical between thiol and vinyl-group. Meanwhile, the hydrophilic properties of the dithiol cross-linker were regulated to explore the effect for micro-phase separation morphology and hydroxide ion conductivity. As result, the AEMs with hydrophilic crosslinked structure (PcPBI-Nb-C2) not only had apparent micro-phase separation morphology and high OH- conductivity of 105.54 mS/cm at 80 °C, but also exhibited improved mechanical properties, dimensional stability (swelling ratio < 15%) and chemical stability (90.22 % mass maintaining in Fenton's reagent at 80 °C for 24 h, 78.30 % conductivity keeping in 2 M NaOH at 80 °C for 2016 h). In addition, the anion exchange membranes water electrolysis (AEMWEs) using PcPBI-Nb-C2 as AEMs achieved the current density of 368 mA/cm2 at 2.1 V and the durability over 500 min operated at 150 mA/cm2 under 60 °C. Therefore, this work paves the way for constructing AEMs by introduction of norbornene into polybenzimidazole and formation of hydrophilic crosslinked structure based on "thiol-ene".

Abstract
CO is a significant product of electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) which can be mixed with H2 to synthesize numerous hydrocarbons. Membranes, as separators, can significantly influence the performance of ECR. Herein, a series of quaternized polybenzimidazole (QAPBI) anion exchange membranes with different quaternization degrees are prepared for application in ECR. Among all QAPBI membranes, the QAPBI-2 membrane exhibits optimized physico-chemical properties. In addition, the QAPBI-2 membrane shows higher a Faraday efficiency and CO partial current density compared with commercial Nafion 117 and FAA-3-PK-130 membranes, at -1.5 V (vs. RHE) in an H-type cell. Additionally, the QAPBI-2 membrane also has a higher Faraday efficiency and CO partial current density compared with Nafion 117 and FAA-3-PK-130 membranes, at -3.0 V in a membrane electrode assembly reactor. It is worth noting that the QAPBI-2 membrane also has excellent ECR stability, over 320 h in an H-type cell. This work illustrates a promising pathway to obtaining cost-effective membranes through a molecular structure regulation strategy for ECR application.

Abstract
For improved actuation at low voltages of dielectric elastomers, a high dielectric permittivity has been targeted for several years but most successful methods then either increase the stiffness of the elastomer and/or introduce notable losses of both mechanical and dielectric nature. For polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based elastomers, most high-permittivity moieties inhibit the sensitive platinum catalyst used in the addition curing scheme. In contrast to the classical addition curing pathway to prepare PDMS elastomers, here, an alternative strategy is reported to prepare PDMS elastomers via the crosslinking reaction between multifunctional imidazole-grafted PDMS with difunctional bis(1-ethylene-imidazole-3-ium) bromide ionic liquid (bis-IL). The prepared IL-elastomer entails uniformly dispersed IL and presents stable mechanical and dielectric properties due to the covalent nature of the crosslinking as opposed to previously reported physical mixing in of ILs. The relative permittivity was improved up to 200% by including the bis-IL in the elastomer, and Young's modulus was around 0.04 MPa. As a result of the excellent combination of properties, the dielectric actuator developed exhibits an area strain of 20% at 15 V/μm. The novel strategy to prepare PDMS elastomers provides a new paradigm for achieving high-performance dielectric elastomer actuators by a simple methodology.

Abstract
In this work, the preparation of dense blended membranes, from blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), poly(ether sulfone) (PES) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) or Fumion®, with possible applications in alkaline fuel cell (AEMFC) is reported. The blended PEI/Fumion® membranes were prepared under a controlled air atmosphere by a solvent evaporation method, and were characterized regarding water uptake, swelling ratio, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ion exchange capacity (IEC), OH- conductivity and novel hydroxide ion exchange rate (HIER), which is related to the mass transport capacity of the OH- ions through the membrane. The effect of the chemical composition on its morphological and anion exchange properties was evaluated. It was expected that the usage of a commercial ionomer Fumion®, in the blended membranes would result in better features in the electrical/ionic conductivity behaviour. However, two of the membranes containing PEI exhibited a higher HIER and OH- conductivity than Fumion® membranes, and were excellent option for potential applications in AEMFC, considering their performance and the cost of Fumion®-based membranes.

Abstract
Imidazoline is a five-membered heterocycle derived by the partial reduction of one double bond of the imidazole ring. This work prepared new anion exchange membranes (AEMs) based on imidazoline quaternized polystyrene copolymers bearing N-b-hydroxyethyl oleyl imidazolinium pendent groups to evaluate the application potential for anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). For comparison, an imidazole quaternized polystyrene copolymer was also synthesized. The polymer chemical structure was confirmed by FTIR, NMR, and TGA. In addition, the essential properties of membranes, including ion exchange capacity (IEC), water uptake, and hydroxide conductivity, were measured. The alkaline stabilities of imidazolium-based and imidazolinium-based AEMs were compared by means of the changes in the TGA thermograms, FTIR spectra, and hydroxide conductivity during the alkaline treatment in 1 M KOH at 60 °C for 144 h. The results showed that the imidazolinium-based AEMs exhibited relatively lower hydroxide conductivity (5.77 mS/cm at 70 °C) but much better alkaline stability compared with the imidazolium-based AEM. The imidazolinium-based AEM (PSVBImn-50) retained 92% of its hydroxide conductivity after the alkaline treatment. Besides, the fuel cell performance of the imidazolium-based and imidazolinium-based AEMs was examined by single-cell tests.

Abstract
A comb-shape amphiphilic cationic side chain is proposed to well-balance the water sorption in anion exchange membranes (AEMs), in which the cationic group is in between of an ether-containing hydrophilic spacer and an alkyl hydrophobic spacer. By fully grafting the amphiphilic side chains onto polybenzimidazole (PBI), comb-shape amphiphilic microphase networks are well-developed in the AEMs, in which the alkyl hydrophobic network greatly restricts water swelling and the ether-containing hydrophilic network keeps the hydration of the cationic groups and enlarges the ion conductive channel. The as-prepared membranes achieve a high conductivity of about 91.2 mS cm-1, an extremely low swelling ratio of about 8.1% at 80 °C, and good mechanical properties at a hydrated state (tensile strength and elongation at a break of about 14.6 MPa and 77.5%, respectively). Benefits from the balanced water sorption in AEMs, the H2/O2 fuel cell with a 10 μm ultrathin membrane could withstand 80 °C and 0.1 MPa back pressure and achieve a high open circuit voltage of about 1.0 V and a high peak power density of about 631.5 mW cm-2. This work provides a new insight into the design of high-performance AEM.

Abstract
A quaternized polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane was synthesized by grafting a dimethylimidazolium end-capped side chain onto PBI. The organic-inorganic hybrid membrane of the quaternized PBI was prepared via a silane-induced crosslinking process with triethoxysilylpropyl dimethylimidazolium chloride. The chemical structure and membrane morphology were characterized using NMR, FTIR, TGA, SEM, EDX, AFM, SAXS, and XPS techniques. Compared with the pristine membrane of dimethylimidazolium-functionalized PBI, its hybrid membrane exhibited a lower swelling ratio, higher mechanical strength, and better oxidative stability. However, the morphology of hydrophilic/hydrophobic phase separation, which facilitates the ion transport along hydrophilic channels, only successfully developed in the pristine membrane. As a result, the hydroxide conductivity of the pristine membrane (5.02 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 80 °C) was measured higher than that of the hybrid membrane (2.22 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 80 °C). The hydroxide conductivity and tensile results suggested that both membranes had good alkaline stability in 2M KOH solution at 80 °C. Furthermore, the maximum power densities of the pristine and hybrid membranes of dimethylimidazolium-functionalized PBI reached 241 mW cm-2 and 152 mW cm-2 at 60 °C, respectively. The fuel cell performance result demonstrates that these two membranes are promising as AEMs for fuel cell applications.

Abstract
Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFC) are potentially very low-cost replacements for proton exchange membrane fuel cells. However, AEMFCs suffer from one very serious drawback: significant performance loss when CO2 is present in the reacting oxidant gas (e.g., air) due to carbonation. Although the chemical mechanisms for how carbonation leads to voltage loss in operating AEMFCs are known, the way those mechanisms are affected by the properties of the anion exchange membrane (AEM) has not been elucidated. Therefore, this work studies AEMFC carbonation using numerous high-functioning AEMs from the literature and it was found that the ionic conductivity of the AEM plays the most critical role in the CO2-related voltage loss from carbonation, with the degree of AEM crystallinity playing a minor role. In short, higher conductivity-resulting either from a reduction in the membrane thickness or a change in the polymer chemistry-results in faster CO2 migration and emission from the anode side. Although this does lead to a lower overall degree of carbonation in the polymer, it also increases CO2-related voltage loss. Additionally, an operando neutron imaging cell is used to show that as AEMFCs become increasingly carbonated their water content is reduced, which further drives down cell performance.

Abstract
Membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) for water desalination is an innovative technique that could help to solve the global water scarcity problem. However, the development of the MCDI field is hindered by the limited choice of ion-exchange membranes. Desalination by MCDI removes the salt (solute) from the water (solvent); this can drastically reduce energy consumption compared to traditional desalination practices such as distillation. Herein, we outline the fabrication and characterization of quaternized anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) based on polymer blends of polyethylenimine (PEI) and polybenzimidazole (PBI) that provides an efficient membrane for MCDI. Flat sheet polymer membranes were prepared by solution casting, heat treatment, and phase inversion, followed by modification to impart anion-exchange character. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to characterize the morphology and chemical composition of the membranes. The as-prepared membranes displayed high ion-exchange capacity (IEC), hydrophilicity, permselectivity and low area resistance. Due to the addition of PEI, the high density of quaternary ammonium groups increased the IEC and permselectivity of the membranes, while reducing the area resistance relative to pristine PBI AEMs. Our PEI/PBI membranes were successfully employed in asymmetric MCDI for brackish water desalination and exhibited an increase in both salt adsorption capacity (>3×) and charge efficiency (>2×) relative to membrane-free CDI. The use of quaternized polymer blend membranes could help to achieve greater realization of industrial scale MCDI.

Abstract
Novel anion exchange membranes with enhanced ion exchange capacity, dimensional stability and alkali stability were prepared by a facile synthesis method. Internal crosslinking networks in the resulting membranes were achieved by reacting chloromethylated polysulfone with 4,4′-trimethylene bis(1-methylpiperidine) (BMP), where BMP was used as both a quaternization reagent and crosslinker without requirement of post-functionalization. In order to evaluate the alkali resistance and dimension stability performance of the resulting membranes, the molar ratio of BMP in the resulting membranes was fixed at four different contents: 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. The obtained membranes were accordingly denoted as CAPSF-N, in which N = 40, 60, 80 and 100, respectively. Due to the dense internal network structure and spatial conformation of the six-membered rings, the resulting CAPSF-N AEMs showed enhanced dimensional structures (at 60 °C, the water uptakes and swelling ratios of CAPSF-N were 8.42% to 14.84% and 2.32% to 5.93%, respectively, whereas those for the commercial AEM Neosepta AMX were 44.23% and 4.22%, respectively). In addition, after soaking in 1 M KOH solution at 60 °C for 15 days, the modified membranes exhibited excellent alkaline stability. The CAPSF-100 membrane showed the highest alkali stability (retained 85% of its original ion exchange capacity and 84% of its original OH− conduction after the alkaline stability test), whereas the non-crosslinked APSF broke into pieces. Additionally, compared to the commercial Neosepta AMX membrane under the same test conditions, the desalination efficiency of CAPSF-100 was enhanced, and the energy consumption was lower. Novel anion exchange membranes with enhanced ion exchange capacity, dimensional stability and alkali stability were prepared by a facile synthesis method.![]()

Abstract
Anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) are promising technologies that allow the use of nonprecious metals as catalysts because the oxidation reduction reaction at the cathode occurs readily at the high pH of AEMFCs. However, the insufficient chemical stability of the anion-conductive materials in AEMFCs currently limits their development. We studied the chemical stability of the electrolyte in the catalyst layer of AEMFCs containing cationic dimethyl polybenzimidazole (mPBI). Although degradation was observed in an mPBI membrane under alkaline conditions, mPBI coated on a carbon support showed excellent alkaline stability. Because no glass transition temperature was observed for mPBI after coating on the support, the increase of chemical stability was probably associated with the decrease of polymer flexibility.

Abstract
Two N3-substituted imidazoles 1,2-dimethylimidazole and 1-butyl-2-methylimidazole were chosen to functionalize poly(aryl ether ketone), respectively. The generated imidazolium cations could electrostatically react with sulfonate ions of the sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) forming the ionic crosslinking structure of the membranes. The changes in crosslinking degree and the alkyl chain-length on N3 site of the imidazoliums could highly affect the properties of the anion exchange membranes (AEMs). The AEMs functionalized by 1-butyl-2-methylimidazole exhibited superior properties compared to those functionalized by 1,2-dimethylimidazole according to the tolerance tests of the AEMs towards hot alkaline solutions. After exposed to 1M KOH at 80°C for 200h, the 1-butyl-2-methylimidazole modified AEMs maintained the ion exchange capacity of above 85%, the conductivity of about 70%, and the tensile stress at break of around 80%, respectively. The hydrophile-lipophile balance of the polymer membranes was calculated and proposed to better understand the correlation between structures and properties of the AEMs. The degradation of the imidazolium functional groups of the AEMs under the attack of hydroxide ions was evidenced by FT-IR analysis.

Abstract
In the context of many applications, such as polymer composites, energy-related materials, sensors, 'paper'-like materials, field-effect transistors (FET), and biomedical applications, chemically modified graphene was broadly studied during the last decade, due to its excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. The presence of reactive oxygen functional groups in the grapheme oxide (GO) responsible for chemical functionalization makes it a good candidate for diversified applications. The main objectives for developing a GO based nanohybrid proton exchange membrane (PEM) include: improved self-humidification (water retention ability), reduced fuel crossover (electro-osmotic drag), improved stabilities (mechanical, thermal, and chemical), enhanced proton conductivity, and processability for the preparation of membrane-electrode assembly. Research carried on this topic may be divided into protocols for covalent grafting of functional groups on GO matrix, preparation of free-standing PEM or choice of suitable polymer matrix, covalent or hydrogen bonding between GO and polymer matrix etc. Herein, we present a brief literature survey on GO based nano-hybrid PEM for fuel cell applications. Different protocols were adopted to produce functionalized GO based materials and prepare their free-standing film or disperse these materials in various polymer matrices with suitable interactions. This review article critically discussed the suitability of these PEMs for fuel cell applications in terms of the dependency of the intrinsic properties of nanohybrid PEMs. Potential applications of these nanohybrid PEMs, and current challenges are also provided along with future guidelines for developing GO based nanohybrid PEMs as promising materials for fuel cell applications.
