A new ultrathin anion exchange membrane (AEM) is proposed for low cost AEM electrolysis. The
advantages that thin membranes offer include reduced mass transport resistance and ohmic resistance.
A membrane electrode assembly (MEA) with a thinner membrane will have improved hydroxide ion
transfer due to the shorter ion transfer pathway. We fabricated a MEA with a commercially available
ultrathin A-901 membrane (9 um thick) and non-noble metal catalysts. We determined the efficiency
and stability of this ultrathin membrane using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
