Quantifying the Trade-offs between Energy Consumption and Salt Removal Rate in Membrane-free Cation Intercalation Desalination [PDF]

open access: yesLiu, Sizhe, and Kyle C. Smith. "Quantifying the trade-offs between energy consumption and salt removal rate in membrane-free cation intercalation desalination." Electrochimica Acta (2018), 2018
Electrochemical desalination devices that use redox-active cation intercalation electrodes show promise for desalination of salt-rich water resources with high water recovery and low energy consumption. While previous modeling and experiments used ion-exchange membranes to maximize charge efficiency, here a membrane-free alternative is evaluated to ...
