Abstract Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) features high efficiency, high gas purity, a compact structure, fast variable loading, low energy consumption, and less dependence on precious metal catalysts, thus reducing the cost and promising broad development prospects. As the core components of AEMWE, anion exchange membranes (AEMs) can conduct ions, support catalysts, and isolate gases. Ho-wever, the AEMs employed in AEMWE lag behind perfluorosulfonic acid-based proton exchange membranes widely used in PEMWE in terms of both ionic conductivity and long-term stability. High ionic conductivity and chemical stability are predominantly governed by material structure. This review summarizes recent advances in AEMs incorporating quaternary ammonium groups (Q-AEMs). It discusses the performance of Q-AEMs with various polymer backbones for hydrogen production via AEMWE, providing a theoretical foundation for subsequent research efforts.
