摘要

Ion exchange membranes (IEMs) play a significant role in fields of energy and environment,for instance fuel cells,diffusion dialysis,electrodialysis,etc.The limited choice of commercially available IEMs has produced a strong demand of fabricating IEMs with improved properties via facile synthetic strategies over the past two decades.Poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) is considered as a promising polymeric material for constructing practical IEMs,due to its advantages of good physicochemical properties,low manufacturing cost and easy post functionalization.In this review,we present the accumulated efforts in synthetic strategies towards diverse types of PPO-based IEMs.Relation between polymer structures and the resulted features is discussed in detail.Besides,applying IEMs from PPO and its derivatives in fuel cell,diffusion dialysis and electrodialysis is summarized and commented.
