Abstract
Side-chain engineering of covalent organic frameworks as advanced ion conductors is a critical issue to be explored. Herein, ionic covalent organic framework membranes (iCOFMs) with spacer-engineered ionic channel are de novo designed and prepared. The ionic channels are decorated with side chains comprising spacers having different carbon chain lengths and the -SO3 H groups at the end. Attributed to the synergistic contribution from the spacers and the -SO3 H groups, the iCOFM with moderate-length spacer exhibit the highest through-plane proton conductivity of 889 mS cm-1 at 90 °C.

Abstract
CO is a significant product of electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) which can be mixed with H2 to synthesize numerous hydrocarbons. Membranes, as separators, can significantly influence the performance of ECR. Herein, a series of quaternized polybenzimidazole (QAPBI) anion exchange membranes with different quaternization degrees are prepared for application in ECR. Among all QAPBI membranes, the QAPBI-2 membrane exhibits optimized physico-chemical properties. In addition, the QAPBI-2 membrane shows higher a Faraday efficiency and CO partial current density compared with commercial Nafion 117 and FAA-3-PK-130 membranes, at -1.5 V (vs. RHE) in an H-type cell. Additionally, the QAPBI-2 membrane also has a higher Faraday efficiency and CO partial current density compared with Nafion 117 and FAA-3-PK-130 membranes, at -3.0 V in a membrane electrode assembly reactor. It is worth noting that the QAPBI-2 membrane also has excellent ECR stability, over 320 h in an H-type cell. This work illustrates a promising pathway to obtaining cost-effective membranes through a molecular structure regulation strategy for ECR application.

Abstract
The rise of heterocycle cations, a new class of stable cations, has fueled faster growth of research interest in heterocycle cation-attached anion exchange membranes (AEMs). However, once cations are grafted onto backbones, the effect of backbones on properties of AEMs must also be taken into account. In order to comprehensively study the influence of cations effect and backbones effect on AEMs performance, a series of AEMs were prepared by grafting spacer cations, heterocycles cations, and aromatic cations onto brominated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) or poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVB) backbones, respectively. Spacer cation [trimethylamine (TMA), N,N-dimethylethylamine (DMEA)]-attached AEMs showed general ion transportation and stability behaviors, but exhibited high cationic reaction efficiency. Heterocycle cation [1-methylpyrrolidine (MPY), 1-methylpiperidine (MPrD)]-attached AEMs showed excellent chemical stability, but their ion conduction properties were unimpressive. Aromatic cation [1-methylimidazole (MeIm), N,N-dimethylaniline (DMAni)]-attached AEMs exhibited superior ionic conductivity, while their poor cations stabilities hindered the application of the membranes. Besides, it was found that PVB-based AEMs had excellent backbone stability, but BPPO-based AEMs exhibited higher OH- conductivity and cation stability than those of the same cations grafted PVB-based AEMs due to their higher water uptake (WU). For example, the ionic conductivities (ICs) of BPPO-TMA and PVB-TMA at 80 °C were 53.1 and 38.3 mS cm-1 , and their WU was 152.3 and 95.1 %, respectively. After the stability test, the IC losses of BPPO-TMA and PVB-TMA were 21.4 and 32.2 %, respectively. The result demonstrated that the conductivity and stability properties of the AEMs could be enhanced by increasing the WU of the membranes. These findings allowed the matching of cations to the appropriate backbones and reasonable modification of the AEM structure. In addition, these results helped to fundamentally understand the influence of cation effect and backbone effect on AEM performance.
