Bio-Inspired Salinity-Gradient Power Generation With UiO-66-NH₂ Metal-Organic Framework Based Composite Membrane.

ABSTRACT: Salinity-gradient directed osmotic energy between seawater and river water has been widely considered as a promising clean and renewable energy source, as there are numerous river estuaries on our planet. In the past few decades, reverse electrodialysis (RED) technique based on cation-selective membranes has been used as the key strategy to convert osmotic energy into electricity. From this aspect, developing high-efficiency anion-selective membranes will also have great potential for capturing osmotic energy, however, remains systematically unexplored. In nature, electric eels can produce electricity from ionic gradients by using their "sub-nanoscale" protein ion channels to transport ions selectively. Inspired by this, here we developed a UiO-66-NH₂ metal-organic framework (MO
