The modern desalination process for saving water is membrane capacitive deionization in which voltage applied between two opposite-charged carbon electrodes. An ion exchange set beside each electrode, and a spacer placed them to carry the treated water. current study shows conservation along with reduction chemical treatment costs cooling towers seawater circulation. Chemical savings of approxi...

MXene has drawn widespread attention as a potential material for electrode use in capacitive deionization (CDI). However, the applications of are limited by its property low electrical capacity. Herein, MnO2/MXene composite was firstly evaluated system, which MnO2 acts intercalation-type pseudocapacitive electrodes to enhance capacity, and provides an electron conduction highway network that im...

Capacitive deionization (CDI) represents a novel electrosorption process for the desalination of brackish water. The CDI working principle depends on the use of porous carbon materials as electrodes. CDI electrodes possess a charged surface that results in adsorption of salt ions by being charged in low voltage and it desorbing the salt ions by applying a reverse potential to the electrodes. CD...

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising salt removal technology with high energy efficiency when applied to low molar concentration aqueous electrolytes. As an interfacial process, ion electrosorption during CDI operation is sensitive to the pore structure and the total pore volume of carbon electrodes limits the maximum salt adsorption capacity (SAC). Thus, activation of carbons as a wide...
