Energy Harvesting from Salty Water

Energy harvesting from salt water is a phenomenon that began in the 1970’s and should have reached its peak by today, but due to varying interests in the field and the growing potentials of other more promising sources, more work was required to fully establish it. Our research aims at identifying a...
