Abstract: Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have attracted worldwide attention. To achieve high performance in AEMFCs, anion exchange membranes (AEMs) should own high ion conductivity and good alkaline stability. AEMs contain cationic groups and polymer backbone, while ionic groups play very important role in determining the overall stability and conductivity for the AEMs apart from polymer backbones. In this paper, the structure, alkaline stability and ion conductivity of AEMs with different kinds of cationic groups such as quaternary ammonium, guanidinium, imidazolium, phosphonium, metal cation, N-spirocyclic cations, piperidinium and pyrrolidinium are introduced in detail, and the development trend of the cationic groups are also discussed.

Key words: anion exchange membrane, ionic exchange group, alkaline stability, ionic conductivity
