Mechanically strong MXene/Kevlar nanofiber composite membranes as high-performance nanofluidic osmotic power generators

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Nanofluidic channels can capture osmotic energy from salinity gradients, but output power densities should be improved for practical applications. Here the authors report high-strength nanosheet/nanofiber composite membranes for harvesting osmotic energy

Harvesting osmotic energy from proton gradients enabled by two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene membranes

open access: yesAdvanced Membranes, 2022
Osmotic energy is a kind of blue energy that has recently been identified as an additional source of clean energy. Using a membrane-based reverse electrodialysis (RED) process, this blue energy can be obtained from acidic industrial wastewater with ...

Effect of electro-osmotic flow on energy conversion on superhydrophobic surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of Fluids, 2013
It has been suggested that superhydrophobic surfaces, due to the presence of a no-shear zone, can greatly enhance transport of surface charges, leading to a considerable increase in the streaming potential. This could find potential use in micro-energy harvesting devices.

Free Energies of Macroionic Suspensions and the Equation of State for Osmotic Pressure [PDF]

open access: yesProgress of Theoretical Physics, 2005
Summary: A generating functional which, together with an extremal condition, results in the Poisson-Boltzmann equation and its boundary conditions for the average electric potential of a macroionic suspension is constructed within mean field theory. We demonstrate that the extremum of the generating functional is identical to the Helmholtz free energy ...

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Aspects of the Interconversion of Chemical and Osmotic Energies in Mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1971
The conversion of osmotic energy into ATP has the following properties:a) K+, as effluent ion, can be replaced by Rb+, whereas when H+, as influent, is replaced by other cations, the synthesis is abolished.b) Both the effluent cation and the influent H+ seem to provide energy for the synthesis.
