“…Electrochemical Desalination . The separation of salt from water poses a technical challenge that requires different types of solutions, depending on the operational scale (plant size scale to supply cities or survival kits for individuals) and depending on the input/output streams and their impact on the environment [86]. Desalination concepts based on ionic rectifiers have been proposed for example using chemically modified nanopore arrays [87].…”

Ionic rectifier membranes or devices generate uni-directional ion transport to convert an alternating current (AC) ion current input into stored energy or direct current (DC) in the form of ion/salt gradients. Electrochemical experiments 80 years ago were conducted on biological membrane rectifier systems, but today a plethora of artificial ionic rectifier types has been developed and electroanalytical tools are employed to explore mechanisms and performance. This overview focuses on microscale ionic rectifiers with a comparison to nano-and macroscale ionic rectifiers. The potential is surveyed for applications in electrochemical analysis, desalination, energy harvesting, electrochemical synthesis, and in selective ion extraction.

“…Generally, the ashing chamber receives the heated seawater by low pressure steam up to 90-120 C. It starts to boil and evaporate with the effect of ashing. 27 The remained brine passes to the next stage in another ash chamber, with the exposure to further ashing processes under low pressure, which means that water is ashed in multisequence ashing without any additional heat. For each stage, the pressure is maintained below the pressure corresponding to the saturation temperature of the stage feed.…”

“…The severe environmental impact of fossil fuels, used in all aspects of our lives, is a serious threat, as is clear from the resulting health problems and climate change [1,2]. To reduce the severe problems caused by the different fossil fuels, scientists have proposed different solutions, such as waste heat recycling [3,4], developing efficient energy conversion systems that have low or no environmental impact [5][6][7], transitioning from fossil fuel resources to renewable energy resources [8][9][10], and, finally, CO 2 capture [11][12][13][14].…”

This review presents a detailed summary of the latest technologies used in flywheel energy storage systems (FESS). This paper covers the types of technologies and systems employed within FESS, the range of materials used in the production of FESS, and the reasons for the use of these materials. Furthermore, this paper provides an overview of the types of uses of FESS, covering vehicles and the transport industry, grid leveling and power storage for domestic and industrial electricity providers, their use in motorsport, and applications for space, satellites, and spacecraft. Different types of machines for flywheel energy storage systems are also discussed. This serves to analyse which implementations reduce the cost of permanent magnet synchronous machines. As well as this, further investigations need to be carried out to determine the ideal temperature range of operation. Induction machines are currently stoutly designed with lower manufacturing cost, making them unsuitable for high-speed operations. Brushless direct current machines, the Homolar machines, and permanent magnet synchronous machines should also be considered for future research activities to improve their performance in a flywheel energy storage system. An active magnetic bearing can also be used alongside mechanical bearings to reduce the control systems’ complications, thereby making the entire system cost-effective.
