4. Faradaic Reactions in Capacitive Deionization : A Comparison of Desalination Performance in Flow-through Cell Architectures
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)Abstract : Capacitive Deionization (CDI) is an energy-efficient desalination technology that utilizes an electric field to extract ions from water. Flow-through CDI systems show potential for superior desalination performance compared to traditional flow-by CDI; however, they face the challenge of increased occurrence of Faradaic reactions, leading to undesired by-products and reduced energy efficiency.
