　A paper by Prof. Kenji Miyatake et al. of Clean Energy Research Center and Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Nanomaterials Center, “Anion exchange membranes composed of poly(mterphenylene)s and pendant ammonium head groups for anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers” , 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, novel anion-conductive membranes were developed by combining a terphenyl group, which consists of three linked benzene rings, with pendant ammonium head groups and optimizing their composition. The membrane properties were verified in water electrolysis cells.

　Professor Miyatake commented, “We further explore the potential of anion-conductive membranes and contribute to the practical application of energy devices such as water electrolysis cells.”
