Abstract
A cyclical salinity-gradient power generating system based on phase change materials and solar photothermal conversion is provided. The system comprises a solution supplying device, a power generating device and a power output device. The solution supplying device provides seawater with high and low concentration as salinity-gradient energy source of the power generating device; the power generating device implements day-and-night cyclical salinity-gradient power generation; the power output device stores electricity, part of which is used as providing power for the pumps inside the system and part of which is used as system output. A cyclical salinity-gradient power generating method based on phase change materials and solar photothermal conversion is also provided.
