Abstract

We talk about the approaches to harvest blue energy from the point of the bio-inspired membrane with asymmetric structure based on reversed electrodialysis technology and science. From the aspects of the membrane design and ionic transport behavior in nanoconfined environment, the advantages of the bioinspired membranes are described in detail. Also, we propose the idea of quantum-confined superfluid to address the dilemma between the selectivity and permeability, which contradict each other and determine the performance of the harvester.
