==SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDOX POLYMER ELECTRODIALYSIS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025777 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDOX POLYMER ELECTRODIALYSIS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a system for redox polymer electrodialysis, which involves the use of electrodes, membranes, and channels to facilitate the separation and accumulation of ions. 

* The system includes a first electrode and a second electrode positioned opposite to each other.
* Two size-exclusion membranes are placed between the electrodes.
* An ion exchange membrane is positioned between the size-exclusion membranes, creating a feed channel and an accumulating channel.
* The redox channel, containing the first and second electrodes, is separated from the feed and/or accumulating channels by the size-exclusion membranes.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Water treatment: The system can be used for desalination and purification of water by selectively removing ions.
* Energy storage: It can be utilized in redox flow batteries for efficient energy storage and conversion.
* Chemical synthesis: The system can enable the separation and purification of specific ions in chemical reactions.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Selective ion separation: The system allows for the targeted removal or accumulation of specific ions, which is crucial in various applications.
* Efficient electrochemical processes: The design of the system enhances the efficiency of electrochemical reactions by providing separate channels for different processes.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved efficiency: The system enables more efficient separation and accumulation of ions compared to traditional methods.
* Selectivity: It allows for the selective removal or accumulation of specific ions, providing greater control over the process.
* Versatility: The system can be adapted for various applications, including water treatment, energy storage, and chemical synthesis.
