　A paper by Prof. Kenji Miyatake et al. of Clean Energy Research Center and Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Nanomaterials Center, “Polyphenylene-Based Anion Exchange Membranes with Robust Hydrophobic Components Designed for High-Performance and Durable Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers Using Non-PGM Anode Catalysts” , published in Advanced Energy Materials by Wiley, was selected to be featured on inside front cover of the journal.
　In this paper, novel polyphenylene-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) were implemented to make hydrogen production more efficient and durable. Prof. Miyatake commented that the membranes can be further improved by modifying the polymer structures for realization of efficient and cost-effective water electrolysis cells.
