　A paper by Prof. Kenji Miyatake et al. of Clean Energy Research Center and Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Nanomaterials Center, “Monolayer LDH nanosheet/quaternized polymer composite membranes with enhanced anion conductivity and alkaline durability for water electrolysis” , published in Journal of Materials Chemistry A by Royal Society of Chemistry, was selected to be featured on the front cover of the journal.
　In this paper, by combining layered double hydroxide (LDH) with quaternary ammonium-substituted polymers, the researchers succeeded in developing anion conductive membranes that exhibited high hydroxide ion conductivity and high alkaline durability. Professor Miyatake commented, “Based on those results, we further aim to improve the performance and promote commercialization of anion membrane water electrolysis cells.”
