Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) demonstrates great potential in energy harvesting when combining with seawater reverse osmosis. However, the lack of suitable membrane modules and the issue caused by the membrane fouling greatly impede the practical application of PRO to a larger scale. In this study...
