Researchers fabricated an osmotic nanopower generator based on biocompatible and ion-channel-mimetic negatively charged bacterial cellulose (NBC)/MXene hybrid membrane.
A new study demonstrates the feasibility of using a covalent organic framework (COF)-based nanofluidic hybrid membranes (NHMs) to attain enhanced interfacial ion transport for the generation of osmotic energy.
Nanofluidics has become much easier to study and apply thanks to new technological tools like the atomic force microscope (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscope (STM), both for inspection and creation of nanostructures.
