Giant osmotic energy conversion measured in a single transmembrane boron nitride nanotube

A very large, osmotically induced electric current is generated by a salinity gradient between the ends of a single boron nitride transmembrane nanotube, owing to the anomalously high surface charge carried by the nanotube’s internal surface in water at large pH. Osmotic energy from a BN nanotube me...
