Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a device for generating electrical power comprising a first electrode having a porosity that allows the flow of an electrolyte solution of concentration CA in a solute; a second electrode having a porosity that allows the flow of an electrolyte solution of concentration CB in a solute, CB being greater than CA; a membrane having selective permeability to anions or cations, said membrane being disposed between the two electrodes and comprising at least one channel arranged to allow the diffusion of electrolytes from the electrolyte solution of concentration CB to the electrolyte solution of concentration CA through said channel or channels; and a device making it possible to harvest the electrical power generated by the differential in potential between the two electrodes, wherein the two electrodes are formed of an activated carbon fabric, and to a method for producing electrical power using such a device.
