ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2024:1-13. [PMID: 38234131 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2024.2304657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
PVA/PSS composite gel membrane electrode for membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) was fabricated and characterised in the present study. The composite electrode with ion exchange surface is prepared by coating glutaraldehyde cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite hydrogel, with Poly (Sodium 4-Styrenesulfonate) (PSS) added into the network, on the surface of activated carbon (AC) electrode. The feasibility of the gel membrane is analyzed by rheological, swelling rates and ion exchange capacity tests. Then electrochemical test and desalination test are used to study the performance of the MCDI electrode. The results show that coating of composite hydrogel layer improved the hydrophilicity, specific capacitance and lower interfacial electron transfer resistance of the electrode. Finally, we assemble the asymmetrical CDI cell with PVA/PSS composite gel electrode and AC electrode. Compared with the AC electrode, the salt adsorption capacity of PVA6-PSS15 can reach 18.9 mg g-1 and stable charge efficiency at 73.0% at operating voltage of 1.2 V. The decrease in specific capacitance of PVA6-PSS15 after 50 cycles is 1.33%, indicating that the electrode has a good cycling life. The gel membrane coated electrode prepared by PSS provides a new idea for the development of MCDI.

Abstract
Population growth, urbanization, and decarbonization efforts are collectively straining the supply of limited resources that are necessary to produce batteries, electronics, chemicals, fertilizers, and other important products. Securing the supply chains of these critical resources via the development of separation technologies for their recovery represents a major global challenge to ensure stability and security. Surface water, groundwater, and wastewater are emerging as potential new sources to bolster these supply chains. Recently, a variety of material-based technologies have been developed and employed for separations and resource recovery in water. Judicious selection and design of these materials to tune their properties for targeting specific solutes is central to realizing the potential of water as a source for critical resources. Here, the materials that are developed for membranes, sorbents, catalysts, electrodes, and interfacial solar steam generators that demonstrate promise for applications in critical resource recovery are reviewed. In addition, a critical perspective is offered on the grand challenges and key research directions that need to be addressed to improve their practical viability.

Abstract
Recent years have seen the emergence of capacitive deionization (CDI) as a promising desalination technique for converting sea and wastewater into potable water, due to its energy efficiency and eco-friendly nature. However, its low salt removal capacity and parasitic reactions have limited its effectiveness. As a result, the development of porous carbon nanomaterials as electrode materials have been explored, while taking into account of material characteristics such as morphology, wettability, high conductivity, chemical robustness, cyclic stability, specific surface area, and ease of production. To tackle the parasitic reaction issue, membrane capacitive deionization (mCDI) was proposed which utilizes ion-exchange membranes coupled to the electrode. Fabrication techniques along with the experimental parameters used to evaluate the desalination performance of different materials are discussed in this review to provide an overview of improvements made for CDI and mCDI desalination purposes.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an environmentally friendly, energy efficient, and low cost water purification technique in comparison with other conventional techniques, and it has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Here, we use biomass byproduct okara as the starting material to fabricate a boron and nitrogen codoped hierarchically porous carbon (BNC) with ultrahigh heteroatom contents and abundant in-plane nanoholes for CDI application. With the interconnected hierarchical porous structure, the BNC not only exhibits a large surface area (647.0 m3 g-1) for the adsorption of ions but also offers abundant ion transport channels to access the entire internal surface. Meanwhile, the ultrahigh dopants' content of B (11.9 at%) and N (14.8 at%) further gives rise to the increased surface polarity and enhanced capacitance for BNC. Owing to these favorable properties, BNC exhibits top-level salt adsorption capacity (21.5 mg g-1) and charge efficiency (59.5%) at the initial NaCl concentration of ∼500 mg L-1. Moreover, we performed first-principle simulations to explore the different effects between N-doping and N,B-codoping on the capacitive property, which indicate that the boron and nitrogen codoping of carbon can largely increase the quantum capacitance over the double layer capacitance. The results of this work suggest a promising prospect for the BNC material in practical CDI application.

WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2022; 94:e10696. [PMID: 35289462 DOI: 10.1002/wer.10696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Capacitive deionization is an emerging and rapidly developing electrochemical technique for water desalination across the globe with exponential growth in publications. There are various architectures and materials being explored to obtain utmost electrosorption performance. The symmetric architectures consist of the same material on both electrodes, while asymmetric architectures have electrodes loaded with different materials. Asymmetric architectures possess higher electrosorption performance as compared with that of symmetric architectures owing to the inclusion of either faradaic materials, redox-active electrolytes, or ion specific pre-intercalation material. With the materials perspective, faradaic materials have higher electrosorption performance than carbon-based materials owing to the occurrence of faradaic reactions for electrosorption. Moreover, the architecture and material may be tailored in order to obtain desired selectivity of the target component and heavy metal present in feed water. In this review, we describe recent developments in architectures and materials for capacitive deionization and summarize the characteristics and salt removal performances. Further, we discuss recently reported architectures and materials for the removal of heavy metals and radioactive materials. The factors that affect the electrosorption performance including the synthesis procedure for electrode materials, incorporation of additives, operational modes, and organic foulants are further illustrated. This review concludes with several perspectives to provide directions for further development in the subject of capacitive deionization. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a rapidly developing electrochemical water desalination technique with exponential growth in publications. Faradaic materials have higher salt removal capacity (SAC) because of reversible redox reactions or ion-intercalation processes. Combination of CDI with other techniques exhibits improved selectivity and removal of heavy metals. Operational parameters and materials properties affect SAC. In future, comprehensive experimentation is needed to have better understanding of the performance of CDI architectures and materials.
