Abstract

Salinity gradient energy (SGE) is a rising source of renewable energy that commonly exists at the confluence of rivers and oceans and can be harvested by membrane-based technologies such as reverse electrodialysis (RED) process. However, unavoidable high external resistance and sluggish electrode kinetics in existing RED devices severely hamper power density and recovery efficiency. To solve the issue, aqueous organic species with fast redox kinetics were down-selected and adopted as a storage medium to be internally coupled with the RED module and directly transform SGE into chemical energy. Moreover, a temperature-responsive-fluid-imaging coupled 3D numerical simulation approach was also developed for further promoting the fluid state of the overall module. Owing to the systematic design and optimization, a high SGE harvesting power density of 0.29 W cm-2 and a recovery efficiency of 95.2 % were achieved, offering a promising process for large-scale SGE harvesting and integration into the future electric grid.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
