Hydrogen energy, as an ideal energy source with clean source and wide distribution, has attracted special attention. Hydrogen fuel cell, which can directly utilize hydrogen energy, is a high-efficiency and pollution-free device for converting chemical energy into electrical energy.

[0003] Compared with cation exchange membrane fuel cells, the theoretical oxygen reduction reaction kinetics of anion exchange membrane fuel cells is lower, various noble metals required by cation exchange membrane fuel cells are not required, and non-noble metal catalysts such as iron, cobalt and nickel can be used, which has good cost advantage. As one of the core components of fuel cells, anion exchange membrane plays a role in isolating anode and cathode and conducting anions. Although alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cells have many advantages, anion exchange membranes also have some problems to be solved, such as low conductivity and poor alkali stability.

[0004] The transfer of hydroxyl ions in anion exchange membrane depends on cation exchange groups, so the number of ion exchange groups can be increased, however, too high ion exchange capacity will lead to an increase in membrane water absorption and swelling rate, and the mechanical properties of the membrane will decrease, therefore, under the limited number of ion exchange groups, the cationic groups can be designed to be aggregated and arranged to form a hydrophilic "channel" for the movement of hydroxyl ions, and the hydrophobic region will provide the mechanical properties required by the membrane, which requires increasing the polarity difference between the hydrophilic phase and the hydrophobic phase to realize this microphase separation.

The method of claim 2, wherein the anion exchange membrane is prepared by the steps of: (a) dissolving the polymer in a solvent; (b) adding the anion exchange group to the polymer; (c) removing the solvent; and (d) drying the polymer. The solvent J in step (4) is dimethyl sulfoxide, the solvent K is ethyl acetate, diethyl ether or acetone, and the solvent L is deionized water; the vacuum drying oven in step (4) is at 40-80℃ for 24-48h.

9. An anion exchange membrane grafted with a crown ether piperidinium cation, characterized by, The anion exchange membrane is prepared by the method of any one of claims 1-8; the anion exchange membrane is a polymer chain without ether oxygen structure as the polymer backbone, N-methyl piperidine as the cationic group, and a hydrophilic crown ether unit for modifying the piperidine group, and the microphase separation is induced by the difference in polarity between the hydrophilic cationic group and the hydrophobic backbone.
