Bipolar ion-exchange membranes are a class of charged polymers that enable precise control of ionic fluxes and local pH, making them potentially valuable for many energy and environmental applications. This Review focuses on the fundamental physics underpinning their operation across multiple scales, from nanomorphology to integration within devices such as in bipolar-membrane electrodialysis (BPM-ED).
