It relates to a method for preparing a multilayer ion exchange membrane including an acid/base layer by partial modification with an ammonium group, which is a functional group, and a multilayer ion exchange membrane manufactured thereby.

An ion exchange membrane refers to a polymer membrane that selectively passes anions or cations, and is classified into a cation exchange membrane and an anion exchange membrane according to surface charge characteristics. The cation exchange membrane has a negatively charged functional group (cationically conductive functional group), passes only cations by electrical attraction, and blocks the movement of anions by electrical repulsive force. In addition, the anion exchange membrane has a positively charged functional group (anionic conductive functional group), and has characteristics of moving anions by electrical attraction and blocking movement of cations by electrical repulsive force.

Such an ion exchange membrane should have excellent permselectivity as well as ion exchange capacity, low ion transfer resistance and diffusion coefficient, excellent electrochemical properties, and low manufacturing cost. In particular, ion exchange membranes in the field of water treatment and seawater desalination require superior ion selectivity and water permeability characteristics than conventional membranes.
