Electrode materials are a crucial component for achieving high desalination performance via capacitive deionization (CDI). In the present work, we have successfully fabricated manganese dioxide (MnO2)/activated carbon (AC) composite electrode using an anodic electrodeposition technique. Surface characterization confirms presence of electrodeposited MnO2 on AC surface with amorphous structure and improved wetting behavior. Cyclic voltammetry galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements...
Advanced redox-polymer materials offer a powerful platform for integrating electroseparations and electrocatalysis, especially water purification environmental remediation applications. The selective capture of trivalent arsenic (As(III)) is central challenge due to its high toxicity difficulty remove at ultra-dilute concentrations. Current methods present low ion selectivity, require multistep processes transform the less harmful As(V) state. tandem conversion As(III) achieved using an...
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) composite-derived carbon exhibiting large surface area and high micropore volume is demonstrated to be a promising electrode material for the capacitive deionization (CDI) application.
An international workshop identified how pore structures and unique properties that emerge at nano- to sub-nano- size domains can improve the energy efficiency selectivity of electroseparation or electrocatalytic processes for treating water.
We demonstrate a cellulose-templating method for synthesizing hierarchically porous carbon electrode that is capable of high-performance capacitive deionization (CDI). Hierarchically carbons (denoted as HPC-X, X = 500–900 °C) an exceptionally high surface area up to 2535 m2 g–1 and wide-range pore size distribution (macro-, meso-, micropores) were obtained via the pyrolysis macroporous cellulose fibrous-templated resorcinol-formaldehyde-triaminopyrimidine (RF-TPF) polymers. The improved...
Abstract Three-dimensional (3-D) ZIF-8 derived carbon polyhedrons with high nitrogen (N) content, (denoted as NC-800) are synthesized for their application high-performance electrodes in electrosorption of salt ions. The results showed a specific capacitance 160.8 F·g −1 1 M NaCl at scan rate 5 mV·s . Notably, integration 3-D mesopores and micropores NC-800 achieves an excellent capacitive deionization (CDI) performance. ions the electrical double layer is enhanced by N-doping edges...
