Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a rapidly emerging desalination technology that promises to deliver clean water while storing energy in the electrical double layer (EDL) near charged surface capacitive format. Whereas most research this subject area has been devoted using CDI for removing salts, little attention paid storage aspect of technology. However, it would allow compete with other processes if could be stored and reused efficiently. This requires operational aspects optimized...
The sugarcane ethanol industry is currently generating an intensive amount of biowaste while consuming significant water resources. In this work, bagasse fly ash (SCBFA), a major with high amounts fixed carbon, employed as precursor for activated carbon (SCBFA-AC) production. Here, SCBFA-ACs are valorized the main component electrodes in capacitive deionization (CDI), emerging desalination technology. way, abundant and low-cost could be used green alternative to treat water.

Soil salinization poses a significant challenge to agricultural activities. To address this, the industry seeks an irrigation water solution that reduces both ionic conductivity and sodium adsorption rate (SAR), thereby diminishing risks of soil sodification fostering sustainable crop production. Capacitive deionization (CDI) is attractive electrochemical technology advance this search. Recently, one-dimensional transient CDI model unveiled capacitive ion-exchange mechanism presenting...
A novel current collector-free electrode for capacitive deionization to treat brackish water, with low energy consumption and exceptional desalination properties directly linked the nanoparticle metal oxide/carbon nanotube fibre network morphology.
Faradaic deionization (FDI) is an emerging and promising electrochemical technology for stable efficient water desalination. Battery-type energy storage materials applied in FDI have demonstrated to achieve higher salt removal capacities than carbon-based conventional capacitive (CDI) systems. However, most of the reported systems are based on inorganic intercalation compounds that lack cost, safety sustainability benefits, thereby curtailing development a feasible cell. In this work, we...
Capacitive deionization (CDI) has recently gained some degree of popularity as a water treatment technology. This paper demonstrates the benefits coating low surface area carbon electrodes with sub-micron nanoporous layer either γ-Al2O3 or SiO2. As shown by cyclic voltammetry, oxide layer, having pores sizes ranging from larger micro to meso, substantially increased capacitance for ion removal while still maintaining reasonably high ohmic conductivity. The amount Ca2+ removed in CDI cell...
Metal oxide coated carbon materials were shown to have increased ion removal over many of the uncoated carbons when used in capacitive deionization; however, influence coating was dependent on material as substrate. Specifically, four different materials, and uncoated, tested. During removal, negative electrode with SiO2 positive γ-Al2O3. The coatings improved Ca2+ for 3 4 tested γ-Al2O3 Cl− 2. mechanism this increase appeared be dependent, could associated addition new surface groups,...
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an emerging desalination technology based on the same charge storage principles as in electrical double-layer supercapacitors (EDLC's). In this study, electrodes of differing thicknesses were tested using constant current (CC-CDI) and voltage (CV-CDI) operational modes order to study best way sequestering highest amount ions under different salt concentration scenarios. CV-CDI was used calculate electrode time constants (RC) thereby determine a suitable...
Demand of lithium is expected to increase drastically in coming years driven by the market penetration electric vehicles powered Li-ion batteries, which will require faster and more efficient Li extraction technologies than conventional ones (evaporation brines). The Electrochemical Ion Pumping Cell (EIPC) technology based on use Faradaic materials one most promising approaches. However, its relatively short lifespan prevents commercial deployment. Herein, a new EIPC concept semi-solid...
Water scarcity, driven by climate change and population growth, necessitates innovative desalination technologies. Conventional methods for brackish water are limited high‐energy demands, especially in the low salinity range, prompting exploration of electrochemical approaches like faradaic deionization. Sodium‐manganese oxides, traditionally used sodium‐ion batteries, show promise as deionization electrode materials due to their abundance, toxicity, cost‐effectiveness. However, capacity...
Low surface area carbon fiber sheets coated with nanoporous thin-films of SiO2 and γ-Al2O3 may provide an alternative to high electrodes for electrosorption electrical double layer processes.
