Alkaline Anion‐Exchange Membranes Containing Mobile Ion Shuttles

A new class of alkaline anion-exchange membranes containing mobile ion shuttles is developed. It is achieved by threading ionic linear guests into poly(crown ether) hosts via host–guest molecular interaction. The thermal- and pH-triggered shuttling of ionic linear guests remarkably increases the solvation-shell fluctuations in inactive hydrated hydroxide ion complexes (OH−(H2O)4) and accelerates the OH− transport.
