4 FAQs about Membrane-based solar power generation

Are PIL/MXene composite porous membranes suitable for solar-driven clean water production?

In this contribution, we synthesized PIL/MXene composite porous membranes via ionic complexation and successfully applied them in solar-driven clean water production. The as-prepared composite porous membranes maintained structural stability and integrity as compared to a pristine PIL porous membrane.

Could water be a source of energy for membrane-based systems?

Water has always been crucial to combustion and hydroelectric processes, but it could become the source of power in membrane-based systems that capture energy from natural and waste waters. Two processes are emerging as sustainable methods for capturing energy from sea water: pressure-retarded osmosis and reverse electrodialysis.

What are the advantages of PiL/MXene porous membrane?

Owning to advantages of ionically crosslinked structure of PIL/MXene porous membranes, the porous composite membrane is tuneable with controllable thickness in the range of 15–180 µ m, being an ideal solar absorber required for the design of a solar-driven vapor generator with high evaporation rate and efficient energy conversion. 2.

What is solar-driven interfacial water–electricity cogeneration?

Since Xue et al. first proposed electricity generation induced by a water evaporation process based on a hydrovoltaic effect, solar-driven interfacial water–electricity cogeneration has emerged as a promising solar energy utilization technology for clean water and energy collection [4, 5, 6].
