Based on the principle and osmosis mechanism of nanoscale one-way valve, the principle and method of Zero-carbon emission molecular energy technology is proposed, the osmotic pressure difference is generated through the concentration regulation,and the spontaneous reverse osmosis is realized with the help of the spontaneous osmotic effect, create a one-way valve effect, transforming the random thermal motion of water molecules into ordered motion, let the water spontaneously flow from low to high, directly harnessing energy from the thermal environment of water molecules to perform work, forming the concept and technology of molecular energy, and achieving the goal of Zero-carbon emission clean energy. This pape introduces the experimental validation situation, which proves that the technical principle is feasible and the method is effective, The experimental results exhibit a Maxwell's demon-like phenomenon of reverse entropy increase. This research is a basic research from 0 to 1, three breakthroughs were achieved: Reverse osmosis without energy consumption, let the water spontaneously flow from low to high, and using the heat of water for work without temperature difference. In the future, efforts will be made to improve work efficiency. It is expected that the power generation efficiency will far exceed the existing river and sea osmotic energy generation technology, and the key problem of the semi-permeable membrane being prone to blockage and difficult to be practical will be overcome,it is expected to be rapidly put into practical use. There is no need for temperature difference, from the natural environment of water molecular heat energy can do work, inexhaustible, inexhaustible, do not consume energy resources, do not increase the temperature rise of the earth, zero-carbon emission, safe, clean and environmental protection, good economy. This study provides a new technical solution to effectively solve the focus problem of growing energy consumption and continuous global climate warming.
