The state- of- the- art of membrane technology is characterized by a number of mature applications like PEM fuel cells, electrolyzers, electrodialysis and etc. Amongst them, brine electrolysis technology is considered as an intensive energy consumption (0.6% of global power) [1,8]. This is further underlined that membrane electrolysis is favored as an efficient energy consumption technology in comparison with mercury and diaphragm ones [7]. It is apparent that, cation exchange membranes (CEMs) is regarded as a prominent component in such systems which are currently composed of established materials including polymeric or inorganic material and feasibly can be scalable manufacturing procedures like interfacial polymerization, casting and coating. Furthermore, some efficient polymers for tremendous potential in various sub-disciplines of electrochemistry and polymer engineering. The present overview explicitly provides the specifications of brine electrolysis membranes that conduct sodium cations with respect to prevention back migration of hydroxide anions, namely chlor- alkali cation exchange membrane.
