Abstract

A capacitive concentration difference power generation technology belongs to the capacitor application and concentration difference energy utilization field. An electrochemical capacitor is formed by positive and negative electrodes, diaphragm, a current collector and an electrolyte. Positive and negative electrode materials comprise an adsorbed electrode depending on high specific surface area adsorption ions, a reaction electrode depending on redox reaction storage ions and the like. The electrolyte comprises a plurality of fluids with different concentrations, such as high strong brine and low strong brine, seawater and fresh water, high strong CO2 and low strong CO2 and the like. The capacitor realizes an energy cycle similar to a Carnot cycle through four steps of ''charging-open circuit-discharging-open circuit''. A concentration difference in the electrolyte is converted into electric energy. Compared to a concentration difference energy utilization technology of pressure penetration, reverse electro dialysis and the like, by using the technology in the invention, cost is low, an apparatus is simple, energy efficiency is high and an application scope is wide.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a capacitive concentration difference power generation technology, which belongs to the fields of capacitor application and concentration difference energy utilization. Background technique [0002] A capacitor is a device that holds electrical charge. A capacitor is composed of two metal electrodes with an insulating dielectric in between. When a voltage is applied between two metal electrodes, charges are stored on the electrodes, so capacitors are energy storage elements. The capacitance of traditional capacitors is small, only on the order of microfarads or millifarads. [0003] The capacitance of electrochemical capacitors (often called supercapacitors) can reach the order of farads or even thousands of farads. It is a new type of energy storage device with high power density, short charging time, long service life, energy saving and environmental protection. There are two main energy storage mechanisms, electric double...
