The invention belongs to the field of thermoelectric conversion, and discloses a method for carrying out thermoelectric conversion by using a liquid redox electrolyte and application of the method in ion coupling removal. The temperature difference is generated on the two sides of the liquid redox electrolyte by means of temperature increasing and decreasing, so that the potential difference is generated, the electric field is generated, heat energy is converted into electric energy, the liquid electrolyte generates power directly by generating the temperature difference, and the electrolyte is used for conducting current and ions and also serves as a power generation material. The electric energy obtained by photo-thermoelectricity or thermoelectric conversion is used for driving the oxidation-reduction reaction, so that the purpose of desalination is achieved, the energy problem of the oxidation-reduction reaction in the ion coupling removal process is effectively solved, and the used raw materials and the
