Report
One of the most significant advantages of using RED is that the sole byproduct other than salt water is produced by its application. This means that there are absolutely no emissions of any kind produced into the atmosphere. Utilization of it might set an almost unachievable benchmark in terms of environmental friendliness. It has the potential to become an alternative means of reducing the impact of CO2 emissions. Practicality of RED Process In principle, these power plants might be situated wherever saltwater and freshwater converge, such as at the terminus of a river; however, in practice, this is unlikely to occur. They can be integrated into existing industrial zones, possibly being installed within underutilized portions of existing buildings. They operate without consuming any external fuel and without producing noise pollution or polluting emissions. Fabrications of efficient ion selective membranes are the only thing that we need to be concerned with at this point. The parameters of the membrane have a much bigger bearing on the amount of power produced by RED than any other factor. When developing a new membrane structure based on advanced materials such as ceramic, polymers, metal-organic framework (MOF), hybrid microporous materials, etc., factors such as membrane selectivity, durability, and fouling resistance are taken into consideration. Other factors that are also taken into consideration include membrane thickness. When 2D materials such as graphene oxide, boron nitride, clay, and MeXene were first introduced into this industry, we saw the most significant growth in terms of increasing the amount of power that could be generated using RED. When compared to the conventional membrane-based reverse electro- dialysis systems, these nanofluidic reverse electro-dialysis systems (NREDS) offer a larger ionic flow and a lower fluidic resistance. Because of this, they were able to significantly improve the performance of the osmotic energy collecting process, which allowed for the achievement of a very high-power density of 67 W/m2.
