Nanopore Functionalized by Highly Charged Hydrogels for Osmotic Energy Harvesting
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2019 The salinity gradient between brine and fresh water is an abundant source of power which can be harvested by two major membrane methods: pressure-retarded osmosis and reversed electrodialysis. Nowadays, the latter technology is close to real application, but it still suffers from low power yield.
