Abstract
There is an increasing worldwide interest in the application of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) other than in fuel cells. Many systems such as alkaline water electrolyzers (AWEs), CO 2 electrolysis (CO 2 E), redox flow batteries (RFBs), alkali metal–air batteries (AMABs), reverse electrodialysis (RED), electrodialysis (ED), diffusion dialysis (DD), microbial fuel cells (MFCs), and other applications use AEMs as an alternative to cation exchange membranes (CEMs) or porous diaphragms. Each application has special demands and opportunities for AEMs. In this chapter, we systematically summarize the role and development of AEMs in these applications. The working principle and significant progress of AEMs in these devices are provided. Besides, the main challenges and perspectives for the further development of AEMs in these applications are also presented.
