Due to the unique ion transfer characteristics of ion exchange membranes (IEMs), they can be used in the separation and classification of ionic systems. Hence, IEMs have a wide application prospect in clean production, energy conservation, emission reduction and energy conversion. Because of gradually depleted fossil fuel, the ever-increasing power demand of our modern lifestyle and the awareness of environment protection, the conversion and storage of energy from renewable sources (hydrogen, wind and solar energy, for instances) have attracted worldwide attention. For both fuel cells and aqueous organic redox flow batteries operated in neutral pH, ion exchange membranes are crucial in determining the internal resistance (conversion efficiency), working life span of the former and the coulombic efficiency, cycle life of the latter. IEMs have great potential in diverse applications and play prominent roles in addressing energy and environment related issues. Over the past decade, the development of IEMs has attracted much research attention in terms of materials, preparation and applications, due to their academic and industrial values. In this review, we summarized the advanced research on polyphenylene oxide (PPO) polymer based ion exchange membranes. We introduced the membranes synthetic methods, polymer structures, key performances and application processes separately. Besides, we also discussed about the problems of the PPO based ion exchange membranes that should be solved and prospected the development direction in the future. As to the PPO based ion exchange membranes synthetic methods, we divided them into two parts, anion exchange membranes and cation exchange membranes, with a variety of methods enumerated, including introduction of side chains, polymers crosslinking, optimization of functional groups and doping to improve the performances, such as ion conductivity, swelling ratio, mechanical strength and other important performances of the PPO based exchange membranes. We also realized the diversification of the function of ion exchange membranes and application in fuel cells, etc.
