Two-Dimensional Nanofluidic Membranes toward Harvesting Salinity Gradient Power

Accounts of Chemical Research, 2021
The salinity gradient between seawater and river water has been identified as a promising, clean, renewable, and sustainable energy source that can be converted into electricity using ion-selective membranes in a reverse electrodialysis (RED) configuration.

Anomalous pH‐Dependent Nanofluidic Salinity Gradient Power

Small, 2017
AbstractPrevious studies on nanofluidic salinity gradient power (NSGP), where energy associated with the salinity gradient can be harvested with ion‐selective nanopores, all suggest that nanofluidic devices having higher surface charge density should have higher performance, including osmotic power and conversion efficiency.

Salinity Gradient Power: Utilizing Vapor Pressure Differences

Science, 1979
By utilizing the vapor pressure difference between high-salinity and low-salinity water, one can obtain power from the gradients of salinity. This scheme eliminates the major problems associated with conversion methods in which membranes are used. The method we tested gave higher conversion efficiencies than membrane methods.

Reverse Electrodialyis Salinity Gradient Power Experiment

Volume 1: Combined Energy Cycles, CHP, CCHP, and Smart Grids; Concentrating Solar Power, Solar Thermochemistry and Thermal Energy Storage; Geothermal, Ocean, and Emerging Energy Technologies; Hydrogen Energy Technologies; Low/Zero Emission Power Plants and Carbon Sequestration; Photovoltaics; Wind Energy Systems and Technologies, 2014
Today’s rate of fossil fuel consumption rapidly depletes fuel reserves and leads to a number of adverse environmental effects. Although the scope of these effects has yet to be fully realized, it is clear that the development of alternative energy sources is very important.

Recent development in salinity gradient power

Oceans 2003. Celebrating the Past ... Teaming Toward the Future (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37492), 2003
An often-overlooked source of marine renewable energy is the energy available from salinity gradients. The potential resource for the osmotic pairing of fresh water and seawater is estimated at 2.6 TW. Several concepts have been proposed. Obviously, any scheme to desalinate seawater can be operated in reverse.
