Patent attributes
Solar electroosmosis power generation devices and methods thereof are disclosed. In some embodiments, a first electrode in transparent inorganic electrolyte solution is provided in a first temperature chamber including a first light-transmitting wall. A second electrode in transparent inorganic electrolyte solution is provided in a second temperature chamber including a second light-tight wall. The first and second temperature chambers are connected by a cation nano-film with nanoparticles on its surface close to the first temperature chamber. An external circuit connects the first and second electrodes. When the nano-film is irradiated through the first wall by sunlight, the temperature of the first temperature chamber is higher than that of the second temperature chamber. In some embodiments, the solar electroosmosis power generation device improves solar energy utilization efficiency, and can be used in the field of solar light-heat-electric conversion.
