The anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have been regarded as the promising power sources. To develop promising AEMs, the most important components in AEMFCs, the properties of the conducting groups as well as the polymer backbones should be both considered. We recently developed PPO-based anion exchange membranes having various conducting groups, including ammonium, imidazolium, mopholinium. The preparation, characterization and properties of the corresponding membranes will be discussed in detail.
