Improvement in the Power Output of a Reverse Electrodialysis System by the Addition of Poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)

Salinity gradient energy generated by the contact between seawater and river water is one of promising renewable energies. In reverse electrodialysis (RED), salinity directly translated into electricity. The representative problem a large electrical resistance or dilute solutions. solutions are poor electrically conductive. This results in huge loss when an current passes through it.
