A comprehensive scientometric approach was adopted to study the research on ion exchange membranes. The statistical analysis was conducted based on 21 123 publications which were related to the topic of ion exchange membranes. Specifically, from 2001 to 2016, over 18 000 articles were published on ion exchange membranes, indicating researchers' great interest in this topic. Especially, compared to 2001, the number of articles published in 2016 increased approximately six-fold. This trend continued in 2017 since over 2000 articles were published in the year of 2017. Also, these articles were spread across over 1000 different journals, near 100 countries/regions and over 5000 research institutes, revealing the importance of ion exchange membrane as well as the broad research interest in this field. Besides, the properties and applications of ion exchange membranes were also discussed statistically. Furthermore, keywords analysis indicated that fuel cell and proton exchange membrane had the highest cooccurrence frequency. Finally, research areas analysis revealed that ion exchange membranes had a close relation with chemistry, energy and materials.
采用了一种全面的科学计量方法来研究离子交换膜的相关研究。基于21123篇与离子交换膜主题相关的出版物进行了统计分析。具体而言，从2001年到2016年，发表了超过18000篇关于离子交换膜的文章，这表明研究人员对该主题有着浓厚的兴趣。特别是，与2001年相比，2016年发表的文章数量增加了约六倍。这种趋势在2017年持续，因为2017年发表了超过2000篇文章。此外，这些文章分布在1000多种不同的期刊、近100个国家/地区和5000多个研究机构，揭示了离子交换膜的重要性以及该领域广泛的研究兴趣。此外，还对离子交换膜的性质和应用进行了统计讨论。此外，关键词分析表明燃料电池和质子交换膜的共现频率最高。最后，研究领域分析表明离子交换膜与化学、能源和材料密切相关。
