Abstract In this study, the potential of the application of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) to energy harvesting from salinity gradient by reverse electrodialysis is experimentally investigated. The MEA, which consists of a cation exchange membrane and two porous silver/silver chloride electrodes, is developed. Power generation from the MEA located between sodium chloride solutions having various differences in concentration is measured. The highest power generation density achieved is 4.1 W m−2, which is greater than those reported in previous studies on conventional reverse electrodialysis cells.

通过反向电渗析从盐度梯度中收集能量的膜电极组件

摘要 在这项研究中，通过实验研究了膜电极组件 (MEA) 在通过反向电渗析从盐度梯度收集能量中的应用潜力。开发了由阳离子交换膜和两个多孔银/氯化银电极组成的 MEA。测量来自位于具有各种浓度差异的氯化钠溶液之间的 MEA 的发电量。实现的最高发电密度为 4.1 W m-2，高于之前对传统反向电渗析电池的研究报告的发电密度。
