Abstract Layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly is a versatile technology with the ability to produce
charged thin film active layers by absorbing oppositely charged polyelectrolytes or …

Osmosis has started discovering technical application in the developing membrane
technologies like Forward Osmosis and Pressure-Retarded Osmosis. It is the natural motion …

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has gained attention due to its use as a salinity gradient
energy-generating membrane process. This process can convert difference in salinity …

Desalination activities around the world are increasing as a result of water scarcity. The
discharge of brine from desalination processes poses a significant threat to the environment …

Thermal gradient energy-generation technologies for powering unmanned underwater
vehicles (UUVs) or autonomous sensing systems in the ocean are mainly in the research …

Global energy consumption is increasing, highlighting the need for renewable energy
sources for power generation. Nonrenewable energy sources, as they are currently …
