In order to achieve a better trade-off among ionic conductivity, mechanical strength and chemical stability, a series of novel aggregated and ionic cross-linked anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are recommended, namely, acS(6)QAPSF, acS(8)QAPSF and acS(10)QAPSF. Cross-linked network shoulders the responsibility to toughen the acS(x)QAPSF. Appropriate micro-morphology is responsible for facilitating the conduction of OH- and improving the alkaline stability of the acS(x)QAPSF. Compared with the original QAPSF, acS(x)QAPSF membranes exhibit much better properties. Specifically, for acS(8)QAPSF, a ...
