iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my labmates, advisor, and other members of the EAS faculty for providing me with direction and encouragement. Special thanks go to the wonderful people at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography the crew members of the R/V Savannah for the support and fun times.

There is a tremendous source of entropic energy available from the salinity difference between river water and seawater, but this energy has yet to be efficiently captured and stored. Here we demonstrate that H(2) can be produced in a single process by capturing the salinity driven energy along with organic matter degradation using exoelectrogenic bacteria. Only five pairs of seawater and river...

The energy balance of lithium recovery by electrodialysis using the solid electrolyte La0.57Li0.29TiO3 was investigated AC impedance spectroscopy and overpotential measurements. It found that most input is consumed in electrolysis water associated with electrodialysis. Despite use low-performing model electrodes plates low Li+ conductivity, due to diffusion between electrode surface offshore se...
