Abstract
Disordered MOFs seamlessly amalgamate the robust stability and pore tunability inherent in crystalline MOFs with the advantages derived from abundant defects and active sites present in amorphous structures. This study pioneers the use of the interference-oriented attachment (IOA) mechanism to meticulously craft the morphology and crystal growth of MIL-101(Cr) (Cr-MOF), resulting in the successful synthesis of a high-level disordered Cr-MOF boasting an enhanced array of active sites and exceptional electrochemical properties. The correlation between disordered structures and the electrochemical properties of MOFs are elucidated using the lattice distortion index and fractal dimension. The high-level disordered MOF electrode showcases a remarkable fluoride sieving effect, outperforming conventional fluoride removal materials with a remarkable fluoride adsorption capacity of 41.04 mgNaF gelectrodes -1. First-principles calculations, in conjunction with relevant experiments, provided further validation that the disordered structure significantly enhances the defluorination performance of the material. This study introduces a novel approach for the direct bottom-up synthesis of high-level disordered MOFs, showcasing their potential for applications in electrochemical water treatment.

Abstract
Deionization of salt, contaminated underground and inorganic waste waters for water recycling and reuse is of increasing importance mainly due to the shortage of freshwater worldwide. Membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) possessing a high electrosorption capacity and energy efficiency has been considered a promising method for desalination. However, the MCDI reaction system has limited applications because of the high interfacial resistance during operation. In the present work, the novel sulfonated graphene oxide (SGO) serving as a hydrophilic cation exchange membrane that was coated directly on the activated carbon (AC) electrode was prepared to enhance capacitive deionization of saltwater. Experimentally, the electrosorption capacity and charge efficiency of the AC/SGO (negative)||AC (positive) electrode pair using the coated SGO thin film increased from 12.8 to 19.8 mg/g and 56.7 to 89.3%, respectively. The enhancements were associated with the reduction of the co-ion effect during electrosorption. The strong negative PhSO3- group grafted on the SGO thin film could selectively accelerate the transport rate of cations during CDI. The increase of the charge efficiency also led to lower implemented current. This work demonstrates a simple, low-cost and effective desalination method that will likely have many new applications especially in water recycling and reuse.

Efficient groundwater defluorination over a wide concentration gradient through capacitive deionization with a three-layer structured membrane coating electrode. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 462:132703. [PMID: 37821246 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Fluoride (F-) pollution in groundwater is an important environmental issue and capacitive deionization (CDI) holds promise for defluorination at moderate concentrations (e.g., 200 -1000 mg L-1). However, existing electrodes suffer from the overlap of electrical-double-layer (EDL) and severe co-ion effects at low (e.g., <200 mg L-1) and high sodium fluoride (NaF) concentrations (e.g., >1000 mg L-1), respectively, exhibiting poor salt adsorption capacity (SAC). Hence, a three-layer structured electrode, "membrane/carbon nanotube (CNT)/activated carbon (AC)" (CNT-MCE), was prepared through electrospinning CNT onto AC, followed by a polymer membrane coating. Compared to AC and membrane coated electrode, CNT-MCE with mesopore-dominated structure prevented EDL overlap, achieving a higher SAC of 40.8 mg g-1 at 100 mg L-1 NaF. At 1500 mg L-1 NaF, the positively charged CNT-MCE exhibited an improved SAC of 58.8 mg g-1 by inhibiting co-ion effects. Meanwhile, CNT-MCE consistently demonstrated superb SACs at 200 - 800 mg L-1 NaF and maintained excellent stability over a wide concentration gradient by inhibiting severe oxidation. Notably, CNT-MCE successfully decreased the F- concentration in simulated groundwater from 3.4 to 1.1 mg L-1. Overall, our work provides an efficient strategy of electrode design to broaden the applicability of CDI for groundwater defluorination over a wide concentration gradient.

Abstract
Fluoride is an important pollutant in wastewater, and adsorption is an effective way to remove fluoride. Because nitrogen plays an important role in adsorbent materials, computational models were developed to understand the changes in work function resulting from nitrogen doping. La-N-C-800°C, was prepared by pyrolyzing La-MOF-NH2 to verify the influence on the performance of removing fluoride by electrosorption. Material and electrochemical performance tests were performed to characterize La-N-C-800°C. Adsorption kinetics, adsorption thermodynamics, initial concentrations, pH, and ions competition were investigated using La-N-C-800°C for fluoride removal. In addition, density functional theory was applied to evaluate the function of nitrogen. When nitrogen atoms were added, the density of states, partial density of states, populations, and different orbits of charge were calculated to discover deep changes. Nitrogen strengthened the carbon structure and La2O3 structure to remove fluoride. In addition, nitrogen can also act as an adsorption site in the carbon structure. These results provide design ideas for improving the performance of adsorbent materials by doping elements.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have attracted extensive attention due to their ultra-high specific surface area and tunable structure, the mechanism of direct utilization for capacitive deionization (CDI) defluorination remains undefined. Here, MIL-101(Cr) with ultra-high specific surface area, high water stability, and open metal sites (OMSs) is prepared by a hydrothermal method for defluorination of CDI. Carbon black is used as a "chain" to connect F-stored in the holes of MIL-101(Cr) (Cr-MOF)as "blocks" to enhance the conductivity and ion storage capacity of MIL-101(Cr)/carbon black electrodes (Cr-MOF electrodes). This simple construction method avoids the process complexity of in situ synthesis and performs better. These easily constructed "blockchain-like" Cr-MOF electrodes exhibit excellent defluorination capacity (39.84 mgNaF gelectrodes -1 ), low energy consumption (1.2 kWh kgNaF -1 ), and good stability. The coupling of the electrochemical redox reaction of Cr3+ /Cr4+ with confined water is investigated using in situ and ex situ analysis methods combined with density functional theory (DFT), resulting in an unprecedented defluorination mechanism for Cr-MOF electrodes. This study opens up new ideas for the application of MOF in CDI, clarifies the removal mechanism of MOF, and lays a foundation for further promoting the application of raw materials with poor conductivity in the field of CDI.

Abstract
Fluorine pollution has become a global public health problem due to its adverse health effects. Adsorption is the primary method for removing fluoride from drinking water. However, the adsorption method has disadvantages such as difficulty in recovering the adsorbent, and the need to add additional chemicals for regeneration, thereby causing secondary pollution, which limits further industrial applications. Capacitive deionization (CDI), as an emerging water treatment technology, has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages of simple operation, low energy consumption and less environmental impact. In this study, a polypyrrole (PPy) film was prepared on a graphite substrate by electrodeposition, and then metal-organic framework Ce/Zn-BDC-NH2 (CZBN) was deposited on the PPy film by electrophoretic deposition to obtain CZBN/PPy electrode was obtained. The CZBN/PPy anode was then coupled with the MnO2 cathode for capacitive removal of fluoride in a CDI cell. Both CZBN/PPy and MnO2 electrodes exhibit pseudocapacitive behavior, which can selectively and reversibly intercalate F- (CZBN/PPy) and Na+ (MnO2) ions. As expected, the CZBN/PPy-MnO2 system exhibits excellent fluorine removal performance. In 1.2 V, 100 mg/L F- solution, the F- removal capacity can reach 55.12 mg/g. It has high F- selectivity in the presence of some common anions, and can maintain high F- removal ability even after five adsorption regeneration processes. The mechanism of F- removal was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). F- was mainly removed by electrostatic interaction and ion exchange with hydroxyl. The excellent defluorination performance of the CZBN/PPy-MnO2 system makes it have good practical application prospects.

Abstract
Diethylenetriaminepenta (methylene phosphonic) acid (DTPMP) was first used as a dopant to modify hydroxyapatite and applied to remove Pb2+. The adsorption capacity of modified hydroxyapatite for Pb2+ can reach 2185.92 mg/g, which was 10.4 times that of commercial nanohydroxyapatite. The characterizations after adsorption of Pb2+ indicated the existence of chelation and the formation of the low bioavailability Pb10(PO4)6(OH)2. Moreover, the interaction of different components containing DTPMP, HAP, and pollutant Pb2+ was investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, which indicated that the organic-phosphonic group of DTPMP (PO3H-) had a stronger complex effect with calcium ions or lead ions than that of the inorganic-phosphate group of HAP (PO43-) with the two metal ions, which affected the crystallinity of HAP, and greatly improved the removal effect of DTPMP doped HAP composites for Pb2+ contaminants, the existence of amino groups can further enhance the affinity between DTPMP and HAP or lead ions. The chelation mechanism of DTPMP and Pb2+ was probed in depth by combining basin analysis, topology analysis of atoms in molecules (AIM), electron localization function (ELF) analysis, bond order density (BOD) & natural adaptive orbital (NAdO)analysis and orbital component analysis.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is an easily synthesizable, low-cost mineral that has been recognized as a potential material for fluoride removal. Some of the synthesis methods of HAP are quite straightforward and cost-effective, while some require sophisticated synthesis techniques under advanced laboratory conditions. This review assesses the physicochemical characteristics of HAP and HAP-based composites produced via various techniques, their recent development in defluoridation and most importantly, the fluoride removal performances. For the first time, fluoride removal performances of HAP and HAP composites are compared based on partition coefficient (KD) instead of maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax), which is significantly influenced by initial loading concentrations. Novel HAP tailored composites exhibit comparatively high KD values indicating the excellent capability of fluoride removal along with specific surface areas above 120 m2/g. HAP doped with aluminium complexes, HAP doped ceramic beads, HAP-pectin nanocomposite and HAP-stilbite nanocomposite, HAP decorated nanotubes, nanowires and nanosheets demonstrated high Qmax and KD. The secret of HAP is not the excellent fluoride removal performances but best removal at neutral and near-neutral pH, which most of the defluoridation materials are incapable of, making them ideal adsorbents for drinking water treatment. Multiple mechanisms including physical surface adsorption, ion-exchange, and electrostatic interactions are the main mechanisms involved in defluoridation. Further research work must be focused on upscaling HAP-based composites for defluoridation on a commercial scale.

Abstract
Agricultural development, extensive industrialization, and rapid growth of the global population have inadvertently been accompanied by environmental pollution. Water pollution is exacerbated by the decreasing ability of traditional treatment methods to comply with tightening environmental standards. This review provides a comprehensive description of the principles and applications of electrochemical methods for water purification, ion separations, and energy conversion. Electrochemical methods have attractive features such as compact size, chemical selectivity, broad applicability, and reduced generation of secondary waste. Perhaps the greatest advantage of electrochemical methods, however, is that they remove contaminants directly from the water, while other technologies extract the water from the contaminants, which enables efficient removal of trace pollutants. The review begins with an overview of conventional electrochemical methods, which drive chemical or physical transformations via Faradaic reactions at electrodes, and proceeds to a detailed examination of the two primary mechanisms by which contaminants are separated in nondestructive electrochemical processes, namely electrokinetics and electrosorption. In these sections, special attention is given to emerging methods, such as shock electrodialysis and Faradaic electrosorption. Given the importance of generating clean, renewable energy, which may sometimes be combined with water purification, the review also discusses inverse methods of electrochemical energy conversion based on reverse electrosorption, electrowetting, and electrokinetic phenomena. The review concludes with a discussion of technology comparisons, remaining challenges, and potential innovations for the field such as process intensification and technoeconomic optimization.

Abstract
Severe freshwater shortages and global pollution make selective removal of target ions from solutions of great significance for water purification and resource recovery. Capacitive deionization (CDI) removes charged ions and molecules from water by applying a low applied electric field across the electrodes and has received much attention due to its lower energy consumption and sustainability. Its application field has been expanding in the past few years. In this paper, we report an overview of the current status of selective ion removal in CDI. This paper also discusses the prospects of selective CDI, including desalination, water softening, heavy metal removal and recovery, nutrient removal, and other common ion removal techniques. The insights from this review will inform the implementation of CDI technology.

Abstract
Bauxite is a widely available Al-O-rich mineral with great potential for abating fluoride. However, low adsorption capacity, a narrow workable pH range, and a lack of clarity on the best removal mechanism hinder its application. In this work, a highly efficient bauxite nanocomposite (Bx-Ce-La@500) was synthesized via doping and pyrolysis, and its fluoride adsorption in industrial wastewater was examined. Doping Ce/La synergistically improved the fluoride adsorption affinity of the composite (from pHPZC 8.0 ~ 10.0) and enhanced the •OH. The materials were characterized by SEM-EDS, BET, XRD, and TGA while XPS, FTIR, and DFT were used to investigate the mechanism of fluoride sorption. Results show that Bx-Ce-La@ 500 has a positive zeta potential of 26.3-23.1 mV from pH 1~ 10. The Langmuir model was the best fit with a maximum adsorption capacity of 88.13 mg/g and removal efficiency up to 100% in 50 ppm F- solution. The high F- removal was attributed to the enhanced surface affinity and the formation of adequate •OH on the material. Except for carbonate and phosphate ions, other ions exhibited negligible effects and the selective removal of F- in real wastewater was high. The main mechanism of adsorption was the ligand/ion exchange and electrostatic attraction.

Abstract
Faced with the strong demand of clean energy, development of lithium source is becoming exceedingly vital. Spinel-type manganese oxide (λ-MnO2) is a typical lithium ion sieve material. Herein, the conductive three-dimensional (3D) lithium ion sieve electrode material was fabricated by in-situ growth of λ-MnO2 on 3D reduced graphene oxide (3D-rGO) matrix for Li extraction by capacitive deionization (CDI). The λ-MnO2 modified rGO (λ-MnO2/rGO) retained the 3D network structure with uniform distribution of λ-MnO2 nanosheets on rGO. Electrochemical characterization demonstrated its high conductivity and fast lithium ion diffusion rate. By adjusting the rGO concentration, λ-MnO2 activity was improved significantly. With λ-MnO2/rGO as a positive electrode (activated carbon as negative electrode), the corresponding CDI system was successfully applied for the selective extraction of Li+. The final rGO content in the λ-MnO2/rGO was attained by thermogravity analysis. With the appropriate rGO content (15.5%), the obtained λ-MnO2/rGO electrode achieved the optimal Li+ adsorption amount. The corresponding λ-MnO2/rGO-based CDI cell showed good selectivity and high cycle stability. When applied to the extraction of lithium from synthetic salt lake brine, the electrode also obtained high Li+ adsorption amount with good selectivity.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 804:150166.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrated the suitability and effectiveness of utilizing flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) for treatment of fluoride-contaminated brackish groundwater. By comparing operational modes of short-circuited closed-cycle (SCC), isolated closed-cycle (ICC) and single cycle (SC), it was found that SCC mode was the most advantageous. In SCC configuration, the effects of different parameters on the removal of F- and Cl- were investigated including current density, hydraulic residence time (HRT), activated carbon (AC) loading and feed concentration of coexisting NaCl. Results indicated that the steady-state effluent Cl- concentration dropped with elevated applied current, and the decreasing rate got faster with the increase of HRT or AC loading. However, for the steady-state effluent F- concentration, it dropped to a value under a small applied current and maintained stable in spite of the increase in applied current, and both HRT and AC loading had insignificant effects on the steady-state effluent F- concentration. F- was preferentially removed from the treated water compared with Cl-, and a higher ion selectivity could be obtained at lower applied current and smaller HRT with the trade-off being that operation under these circumstances would generate outlet water with little change in conductivity compared to the influent. The removal efficiencies of F- and Cl- both decreased with increasing feed concentration of coexisting NaCl. This study should be of value in establishing FCDI as a viable technology for treatment of fluoride-contaminated brackish groundwater.

Abstract
The composite electrode of NiCo oxide supported by porous carbon was synthesized for nitrite oxidation and nitrate electro-sorption. The crystal structure and chemical state of the Co and Ni oxyhydroxides which were precipitated on loofah-derived activated carbon (AC) using hypochlorite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and BET surface area. The voltammetry showed that the redox couple of Co(II)/Co(III) and Ni(II)/Ni(III) as the mediator catalytically transferred the electrons of NO2-/NO3-; the Ni site had a relatively high transfer coefficient and diffusive current, while the Co site was better in the capacitive removal of the nitrite and nitrate compounds. A batch electrolysis of nitrite ions was operated under constant anodic potential mode (0 to + 1.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl) to assess the performance of the composite electrodes. The adsorption capacity of NiCo/AC (Ni = 5% and Co = 5% on AC by weight) was 23.5 mg-N g-1, which was twice that of AC substrate (7.5 mg-N g-1), based on a multilayer adsorption model. The steady-state kinetics of the consecutive reaction were derived to determine the rate steps of the electrochemical oxidation of NO2- and adsorption of NO3-.

Abstract
In this study, metal-organic framework MIL-53(Al) was synthesized and studied to understand the different mechanisms between normal MIL-53(Al) and 2D metal-organic framework MIL-53(Al) for removing fluoride. Comparatively, the 2D MIL-53(Al) had two-dimensional linear morphology rather than block shape, indicating more expose adsorptive sites than normal MIL-53(Al). The batch adsorption experiments were applied to investigate the performance of 2D MIL-53(Al), including pH, adsorption kinetics, and thermodynamics. The 2D MIL-53(Al) (75.50 mg/g) showed better adsorption capacity than normal MIL-53(Al) (35.63 mg/g). The adsorption process of 2D MIL-53(Al) followed the pseudo-first-order model and Langmuir model. The adsorption mechanism of this material was further studied by using experimental characterization and density functional theory calculations in detail. The main adsorptive sites were Al and O in the 2D MIL-53(Al), and the relationship between fluoride binding with Al and O was HF2 - > HF > F-. The species of fluoride were HF2 -, HF, F at different pH and concentrations. Hence, this study provides a significant way on the application of two-dimensional materials for removing fluoride.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an evolving technology for eradicating salt and toxic heavy metal ions from brackish wastewater. However, traditional CDI electrodes have lower salt adsorption capacity and inadequate adsorption of selective metal ions for long-term operations. Herein, Ag nanospheres incorporated pomegranate peel-derived activated carbon (Ag/P-AC) was prepared and implied to the CDI process for removing NaCl, toxic mono-, di-, and trivalent metal ions. Morphological analysis revealed that the 80-100 nm-sized Ag nanospheres were uniformly decorated on the surfaces of P-AC nanosheets. The Ag/P-AC has a higher specific surface area (640 m2 g-1), superior specific capacitance (180 F g-1 at 50 mV s-1) and a lower charge transfer resistance (0.5 Ω cm2). CDI device was fabricated by Ag/P-AC as an anode, which adsorbed anions and P-AC as cathode for adsorption of positively charged ions at 1.2 V in an initial salt concentration of 1000 mg L-1. An asymmetric Ag/P-AC//P-AC exhibited a maximum NaCl adsorption capacity of 36 mg g-1 than symmetric P-AC//P-AC electrodes (22.7 mg g-1). Furthermore, Pb(II), Cd(II), F-, and As(III) ions were successfully removed from simulated wastewater by using Ag/P-AC//P-AC based CDI system. These asymmetric CDI-electrodes have an excellent prospect for the removal of salt and toxic contaminants in industrial wastewater.
