Abstract
This article reviews the most recent advances on the contribution of electromembrane-based technologies to waste valorisation through their implementation in the sustainable recovery and storage of energy from waste streams. Two driving forces are considered, salinity and pH gradients. Recent advances and challenges in ion exchange membranes (IEMs) and bipolar membranes (BPMs) are presented. Reverse electrodialysis (RED) and reverse bipolar membrane electrodialysis (RBMED) are evaluated as primary batteries to harvest energy from salty streams. The potential of combining RED/ED and RBMED/BMED as sustainable secondary batteries is also presented. Overall, it is concluded that increasing the membrane performance is a key aspect to rise the maturity of the proposed technologies along with their adaptation to the different characteristics of current and future waste streams potentially available for energy recovery and storage.
期刊介绍:
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
