The structure of the electrical double layer has been debated for well over a century, since it
mediates colloidal interactions, regulates surface structure, controls reactivity, sets …

In electrochemical water desalination, a large difference in pH can develop between feed
and effluent water. These pH changes can affect the long-term stability of membranes and …

Capacitive Deionization (CDI) is an electrochemical method for water desalination
employing porous carbon electrodes. To enhance the performance of CDI, identification of …

In capacitive deionization (CDI), water is desalinated by storing ions in electrical double
layers (EDLs) within the micropores of charged porous carbon electrodes. Recent …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are charged fluids composed of anions and cations of different size and
shape. The ordering of charge and density in ILs confined between charged interfaces …

Precise prediction of uranium adsorption at water-mineral interface is of great significance
for the safe disposal of radionuclides in geologic environments. Surface complexation …

Emerging water purification applications often require tunable and ion-selective
technologies. For example, when treating water for direct use in irrigation, often monovalent …

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a fast-emerging technology most commonly applied to
brackish water desalination. In typical CDI cells, dissolved ions are removed from the …
