Title:Design, Fabrication, and Energy Harvesting Mechanism of Multiphysics-Coupled Composite Membranes for Salinity Gradient Energy in the South China Sea
Abstract:Salinity gradient energy (SGE), as an abundant renewable ocean energy resource with a theoretical power potential of 2.6 TW, holds significant importance for advancing the sustainable development of the marine economy. However, existing technologies face substantial challenges, including pronounced concentration polarization in nanochannel membranes, high costs of two-dimensional (2D) materials, and the difficulty in balancing power density with energy efficiency. To address these challenges, a collaborative research team from Hainan University and the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, leveraged the specific salinity gradient characteristics at the estuaries of Hainan Island, conducting a comprehensive study spanning fundamental design, composite membrane fabrication, to device assembly. Utilizing the principles of continuum mechanics and the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations, the research systematically elucidated the ion transport dynamics within nanochannels, revealing the correlation mechanism between key channel parameters and the power density of energy capture. Employing core micro/nano-fabrication technologies, high-performance biomimetic nanochannel membranes based on MXene/CMC-Na and GO/sodium alginate composites were successfully fabricated. Experimental validation demonstrated their exceptional ion transport capability, achieving a high power density of 19.39 W/m² under a seawater/river water gradient. Through the innovative coupling of multiple physical fields—the light field (photothermal effect), temperature field (asymmetric temperature gradient), and chemical field (proton diffusion driven by acid-base reactions)—synergistic light-heat-ion co-transport was realized. This approach broke through the energy conversion limits imposed by traditional methods and enabled enhanced efficiency via multi-physics field synergy. Building on this foundation, advanced material integration and device assembly techniques were applied to optimize and construct high-efficiency SGE nanochannel membranes and energy harvesting devices. Starting from the fundamental flow control mechanisms at the micro/nano scale, this study provides a novel composite material system, a precise numerical computational model, and an efficient multi-field synergistic enhancement strategy—collectively offering a pathway to surpass the industrial application power density threshold for SGE (5 W/m²). The research outcomes possess significant practical value for promoting the development and utilization of marine renewable energy in the South China Sea region and the industrial applications of SGE technology. Furthermore, they directly contribute to advancements in precision manufacturing, micro/nano manufacturing, novel sensor materials & manufacturing technologies, as well as sensor and detection technologies.

Title:Computing Power, Artificial Intelligence, and Energy
Abstract: The rise of generative artificial intelligence and the expansion of data centers have driven a surge in computing power. Coupled with growing user scale, this has significantly increased electricity demand. To address energy consumption constraints and accelerate the low-carbon transition, China has implemented advanced models such as microgrids, integrated generation-grid-load-storage systems, and virtual power plants. These are coupled with mechanisms like direct green power procurement and green electricity-certificate trading, substantially increasing the share of green power used in data centers and enhancing system resilience. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence can provide the power sector with intelligent forecasting, load dispatching, and equipment optimization services, thereby improving the coordination efficiency of generation-grid-load-storage, reducing energy consumption, and enabling the flexible integration of renewables. This establishes a synergistic mechanism of computing power, algorithms, and energy.
