Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is a promising technology for converting salinity gradient energy into electricity. RED stacks contain alternating anion and cation exchange membranes (AEMs and CEMs) that separate salt solutions of different concentrations. Selective transport of ions through the membranes creates an electric potential across pairs of AEMs and CEMs, and large numbers of cell pairs are used in a stack to increase the total potential and drive electric current through an external circuit. In this work, parameters of the ion exchange membrane is an ion exchange capacity, membrane resistance, ion selectivity, and the like thickness. Find out how these parameters affect the RED performance. The further proposed a model of the ion exchange membrane to improve the performance on the basis of these studies RED. (No. 10047796)
