Cationic polyelectrolytes are widely used as anion‐exchange membranes (AEMs) in alkaline fuel cells for converting fuels into electricity. In their Communication on page 2388 ff., C. Tang et al. report a class of metallo‐polyelectrolytes that are conceptualized for chemically inert AEMs under highly basic conditions. The AEMs exhibit excellent thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability, as well as high ion conductivity.
