Nanofluidic membranes have been demonstrated as promising candidates for osmotic energy harvesting. However, it remains a long-standing challenge to fabricate high-efficiency ion-permselective membranes with well-defined channel architectures. Here, we demonstrate high-performance osmotic energy con...
