摘要：In this study, ultra-thin ion exchange film on the ceramic supporter (UTFCS) composed of thin polymer layer and nanoporous ceramic layer with low electrical resistance was developed. The electrical properties and permselectivity of UTFCSs were evaluated and the properties of UTFCSs were compared with other ion exchange membranes. Fabricated UTFCSs were applied to a reverse electrodialysis (RED) system to evaluate the output characteristics and compared with other ion exchange membranes. The power density of RED using UTFCS was 36.6 mW/m 2 , which was 8% higher than that of a commercial anion exchange membrane. In addition, possibility as power source was experimentally verified by driving LEDs. The proposed UTFCS can be applied not only to RED but also to energy development such as fuel cells and microbial cells.
