Deskripsi
The great demand for freshwater for sustaining life on Earth calls for smart solutions to purify ocean water with minimal energy consumption. Here, Park et al. show a passive desalination method via ion concentration polarization generated by capillary-driven flow through ion-selective hydrogels.
