| description | Abstract A widely employed energy technology, known as reverse electrodialysis (RED), holds the promise of delivering clean and renewable electricity from water. This technology involves the interaction of two or more bodies of water with varying concentrations of salt ions. The movement of these ions across a membrane generates electricity. However, the efficiency of these systems faces a challenge due to membrane performance degradation over time, often caused by channel blockages. One potential solution to enhance system efficiency is the use of nanofluidic membranes. These specialized membranes offer high ion exchange capacity, abundant ion sources, and customizable channels with varying sizes and properties. Graphene oxide (GO)‐based membranes have emerged as particularly promising candidates in this regard, garnering significant attention in recent literature. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the literature surrounding GO membranes and their applications in RED systems. It also highlights recent advancements in the utilization of GO membranes within these systems. Finally, it explores the potential of these membranes to play a pivotal role in electricity generation within RED systems. |
