Stack Thermo-Osmotic System for Low-Grade Thermal Energy Conversion

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2021
Thermo-osmotic energy conversion (TOEC) technology, developed from membrane distillation, is an emerging method that has the potential of obtaining electricity efficiently from a low-grade heat source but faces the difficult problem of pump power loss. In this study, we build a novel TOEC system with a multistage architecture that can work without pump

Essence of the Enhanced Osmotic Energy Conversion in a Covalent Organic Framework Monolayer

ACS Nano, 2022
Low membrane conductivity originated from a high membrane thickness has long been the "Achilles heel" of the conventional polymeric membrane, greatly hampering the improvement of the output power density in osmotic power generation. Herein, we demonstrate a molecularly-thin two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic framework (COF) monolayer membrane ...

Nacre‐Inspired Mechanically Robust Films for Osmotic Energy Conversion

Advanced Functional Materials, 2023
AbstractMXene, a new class of 2D layered materials, is considered a candidate for the reverse electrodialysis (RED) film because the laminated MXene nanochannels with charged functional groups provide an excellent ionic selectivity and conductivity. However, the MXene‐based ion‐exchange films suffer from weak mechanical properties and instability in ...
