Abstract

Osmotic power generation, the extraction of power from mixing salt solutions of different concentrations, can provide an efficient power source for both nanoscale and industrial-level applications. Power is generated using ion-selective channels or pores of nanometric dimensions in synthetic membrane materials. 2D materials such as graphene and MoS2 provide energy extraction efficiencies that are several orders of magnitude higher than those of more established bulky membranes. In this Review, we survey the current state of the art in power generation with both 2D materials and solid-state devices. We discuss the current understanding of the processes underlying power generation in boron nitride nanotubes and 2D materials, as well as the available fabrication methods and their impact on power generation. Finally, we overview future directions of research, which include increasing efficiency, upscaling single pores to porous membranes and solving other issues related to the potential practical application of 2D materials for osmotic power generation.Synthetic nanopores in 2D materials are an emerging platform for power harvesting from the controlled mixing of fresh and salty water. This Review surveys their physics and materials properties and the progress in the design of new, high-density, ion-selective membrane materials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
