摘要: Abstract Here we detail a previously unappreciated loss mechanism inherent to capacitive deionization (CDI) cycling operation that has substantial role determining performance. This reflects the fact desalinated water inside cell is partially lost re-salination if desorption carried out immediately after adsorption. We describe such effects by parameter called flow efficiency, and show this efficiency distinct from yet multiplicative with other highly-studied adsorption efficiencies. Flow losses can be minimized flowing more feed solution through during desalination; however, also results in less effluent concentration reduction. While rationale outlined here applicable all CDI architectures rely on cycling, validate our model flow-through electrode device operated constant-current mode. find excellent agreement between predictions experimental results, thus giving researchers simple equations which they estimate process for their operation.
