TL;DR: In this article, a stable poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene)-based alkaline anion-exchange membrane (AAEM) with enhanced tensile strength has been synthesized in response to the poor mechanical properties of previously reported poly(tetraplasticethylene, co-hexafluoropropylene) radiation-grafted AAEMs; this type of AAEM exhibits significant throughplane conductivities (up to 0.034 ± 0.004 S cm-1 at 50 °C in water).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize a radiation-grafted alkaline anion exchange membrane (AAEM) with pendent groups with either BTM or benzylmethylimidazolium (BMI) functionality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the development of imidazolium-type alkaline anion exchange membranes (Im-AAEMs) based on the functionalization of bromomethylated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) using 1-methylimdazole.

TL;DR: The carbonate content of a aqueous-electrolyte-free (metal-cation-free) alkaline anion-exchange membrane (AAEM), that was pre-exchanged to the CO3 form, decreased when operated in H2/air and methanol/air fuel cells, contrary to prior wisdom.

TL;DR: In this paper, a guanidinium-functionalized-poly(2, 6-dimethyl-1, 4-phenylene oxide) (GPPO) AAEM was proposed for fuel cell applications.
