Utilizing the difference in salt concentration of rivers and seas for green energy production has been the subject of many studies since the 1970s.[1] Pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) is one of the methods utilized for harvesting this type of energy and relies on the use of ion-exchange membranes.[2] Another method is an electrochemical concentration cell, which relies on differing salt concentrations.[3,4] Solar evaporation has been used to maintain the concentration difference in some concentration cells.[5] Read more about A Novel Single-Compartment Concentration Cell Driven by Natural Evaporation for Green Energy Harvesting
