Abstract

The invention provides an application of an MXene membrane in reverse electrodialysis power generation, and the MXene membrane has a two-dimensional layered structure, wherein the thickness of the MXene membrane is 1-30 microns, and the single-layer spacing is 0.1-0.5nm. When the MXene membrane is applied in reverse electrodialysis power generation, a power generation system with higher membrane conductivity, stronger ion conductivity, larger ion exchange capacity, lower membrane resistance and stronger ion selectivity can be obtained, so that higher power generation efficiency is provided, and the maintenance time is long. Moreover, the MXene membrane is applied in the reverse electrodialysis power generation process, so the concentration and pH range of the concentrated salt solution andthe dilute salt solution can be expanded, high power generation efficiency can be ensured in the environments with small concentration difference, acidity and alkalinity, and the MXene membrane has agood application prospect in the field of reverse electrodialysis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of utilizing power generation. More specifically, it relates to the application of an MXene membrane in reverse electrodialysis power generation. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of human society, people's demand for energy is increasing day by day. Since the second industrial revolution, electricity has become a high-value and easy-to-use energy source. The current power generation methods include thermal power generation, hydropower generation and the utilization of new energy. However, thermal power generation utilizes non-renewable fossil fuels and causes serious environmental pollution problems. The construction of hydropower stations will change the hydrological environment and affect the survival of aquatic organisms. The utilization of new energy (such as wind energy, geothermal energy, nuclear energy, solar energy, etc.) still has certain technical obstacles and cannot be...
