Anion exchange in perovskite nanocrystals

Anion exchange in perovskite nanocrystals is a fast, reversible post-synthesis reaction replacing halide ions in nanocrystals like CsPbBr₃ to tune emission color, independently reported by two groups in 2015.

Anion exchange membrane electrolysis

Anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysis is a low-temperature water electrolysis technology that splits water into hydrogen using a hydroxide-conducting polymer membrane, allowing inexpensive non-precious-metal catalysts.

Anion exchange membranes

Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are solid polymer electrolytes that conduct anions, most often hydroxide, while blocking cations, used in alkaline fuel cells, water electrolyzers, redox flow batteries, and electrodialysis.

Anion exchange protein

Anion exchange proteins AE1-AE3 (SLC4A1-3), including erythroid Band 3, are sodium-independent membrane transporters mediating electroneutral 1:1 chloride/bicarbonate exchange for pH regulation, CO2 transport, and epithelial acid-base handling; mutations cause spherocytosis, renal tubular acidosis, epilepsy, and short QT syndrome.
