Researchers demonstrate concept desalination battery

Green Car Congress

Recent research on high-flux membranes based on carbon nanotubes could potentially reduce the energy consumption, while alternative electrical-based desalination technology such as ion concentration polarization in nanodevices can potentially avoid the fouling. Fresh water is produced during the initial discharge of the electrodes (Steps 1?2),
