Membrane that conducts both anion and cation?

There are many known anion exchange membranes (AEM) and cation exchange membranes (CEM) that are being used in many industries. Is there any membrane that can simultaneously conduct both anion and cations while blocking any hydrodynamic flow through it?

Dear Prof. Aly, I will definitely have a look at the paper. Looks interesting. Thanks!
Dear Dr. Ivanova, you mean AEMs and CEMs connected in series?

The principles governing the anion function of membranes relying on neutral complexing agents are discussed. The anion function of such membranes can originate from a compensation of transport energy effects of the interacting cation and complexing agent in the membrane. The possible association of anions and cationic complexes does not alter the p...
