Blue energy recovery in the Atacama Desert using electrochemical ion pumping devices: a Chilean perspective on salinity gradient energy
Alvaro Soliz
Abstract
The growing global demand for clean and sustainable energy has intensified the development of novel technologies capable of harnessing naturally available resources. Among these, blue energy, referring to the power generated from the mixing of waters with different salinities, has emerged as a promising yet underutilized source. This perspective presents a comprehensive synthesis of recent advances in electrochemical harvesting systems, with a particular focus on Mixing Entropy...
