This project aims to develop a new class of biomembranes for efficient ion-selective transport, to address the challenge of low power density facing the realisation of blue energy harvesting. This will be achieved using innovative chemistries guided by theoretical modelling to endow membranes with unique features: heterogeneities in surface charge and pore structure. Expected outcomes include a new concept for membrane design, advancement of knowledge in energy conversion, creation of a new prototype power device without need of any external forces, and significant advances in self-powered wearable electronics potentially revolutionizing industries such as healthcare and entertainment.

该项目旨在开发一种新型生物膜，用于有效的离子选择性运输，以解决实现蓝色能量收集所面临的低功率密度挑战。这将通过理论建模指导下的创新化学来实现，以赋予膜独特的功能：表面电荷和孔结构的不均匀性。预期成果包括膜设计的新概念，能量转换知识的进步，不需要任何外力的新原型电源设备的创建，以及自供电可穿戴电子产品的重大进展，可能会彻底改变医疗保健和娱乐等行业。
