Bio-inspired Nanocomposite Membranes for Osmotic Energy Harvesting

Intersting concept that I haven't heard that much of before.

Cartilage-inspired cation-selective composite membrane assembled from aramid nanofibers and boron nitride nanosheets make Osmotic Energy Harvesting possible by a layer-by-layer assembly technology. This was previously thought to be impossible due to the membranes needing to have multiple properties at once.

The osmotic energy with this process can be harvested by both salt concentration gradient and pressure-driven streaming because of the high mechanical and transport characteristics of the membranes.

The combination of high strength, toughness, chemical resilience, rapid ion transport, and structural versatility of aramid-boron nitride composites makes it a promising candidate for osmotic energy harvesting under realistic operational conditions and life-cycle requirements.
