Highly conductive anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are one of the few requirements to produce high power during fuel cell operation and for efficient hydrogen production through water electrolysis. The use of chemically stable and cheap AEMs with platinum group metal (PGM)‐free catalysts is suitable for reducing the overall cost of hydrogen production and fuel cell operation. The in situ durability of anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) and anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWEs) for several hundred hours is necessary for the widespread application of fuel cell and water electrolysis technologies. This Minireview highlights the best results reported recently in alkaline membrane fuel cells and water electrolysis. The achievable AEMFCs performances are noteworthy using Pt‐free anode and cathode electrocatalysts. Remarkable durability in AEMFCs is witnessed, although the durability is a concern for AEMWEs. Moreover, the current challenges and future directions of AEMFCs and AEMWEs are briefly summarized.

燃料电池和水电解用阴离子交换膜的最新进展

高导电性阴离子交换膜（AEMs）是在燃料电池运行期间产生高功率以及通过水电解有效产生氢的少数要求之一。使用化学稳定且廉价的AEM和不含铂族金属（PGM）的催化剂可降低氢气生产和燃料电池运行的总体成本。阴离子交换膜燃料电池（AEMFCs）和阴离子交换膜水电解槽（AEMWEs）在几百小时内的原位耐久性对于燃料电池和水电解技术的广泛应用是必需的。这份Minireview重点介绍了最近在碱性膜燃料电池和水电解方面报道的最佳结果。使用无铂阳极和阴极电催化剂可达到的AEMFC性能值得关注。尽管耐用性是AEMWE所关注的，但在AEMFC中仍具有显着的耐用性。此外，简要总结了AEMFC和AEMWE的当前挑战和未来方向。
