A group of researchers has implemented polyphenylene-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) poised to make hydrogen production more efficient and durable. Its robust hydrophobic design enables effective ion transport while resisting chemical degradation. This supports its potential for durable, high-efficiency use in AEM water electrolyzers, making it a promising component in sustainable hydrogen production applications​, which would advance the goal of a carbon-free energy future.
