Abstract: Devices, systems, methods and/or processes based on or employing a reversible anion exchange polymer electrolyte membrane (AEM). A unitized membrane electrode assembly includes an anion exchange polymer electrolyte membrane disposed between a hydrogen electrode and an oxygen electrode. These electrodes each contain an anion exchange polymer electrolyte binder. The unitized membrane electrode assembly is effective in an alkaline environment for fuel cell operation and water electrolyzer operation.
