Abstract Based on the rapid advancements in nanomaterials and nanotechnology, the Nanofluidic Reverse Electrodialysis (NRED) has attracted significant attention as an innovative and promising energy conversion strategy for extracting sustainable and clean energy from the salinity gradient energy. However, the scarcity of research investigating the intricate multi-factor coupling effects on the energy conversion performance, especially the trade-offs between ion selectivity and mass transfer in nanochannels, of NRED poses a great challenge to achieving breakthroughs in energy conversion processes. This numerical study innovatively investigates the multi-factor coupling effect of three critical operational factors, including the nanochannel configuration,… More >
