Nanofluidic design from Leburton group generates power with saltwater
There is a largely untapped energy source along the world’s coastlines: the difference in salinity between seawater and freshwater. A new nanodevice can harness this difference to generate power. A team of researchers at the U of I led by ECE professor Jean-Pierre Leburton has reported a design for a nanofluidic device capable of converting ionic flow into usable electric power in the journal Nano Energy.
