ENERGY GENERATING SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

The invention relates to an energy generating system and method. The system comprises: - a first capacitive element with a current collector; - a cation-exchange material placed between the first capacitive element and the fluid; - a second capacitive element with a current collector; and - an anion-exchange material placed between the second capacitive element and the fluid, wherein the cation- and anion-exchange materials are in contact with the fluid, the fluid alternately comprising a concentrate and a diluate for respectively charging and discharging the capacitive elements, thereby generating energy.
