Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) technology shows great potential for the treatment of high-salinity wastewater generated by coal chemical industries. MXene has gained significant attention as a potential material for CDI applications, but the stacking of MXene layers limits its application. Thus, the MnHCF/MXene composite material with 3D porous structure was designed and prepared. The results showed that MnHCF/MXene composite with 3D okra-like structure was successfully synthesized, and the specific surface area was 84 m2/g, average pore diameter was 20 nm, and a pore volume was 0.47 cm3 g−1, which were all better than those of MXene. These results highlighted a significantly enhanced porous structure. Furthermore, the composite exhibited an outstanding capacitance of 187.7F/g, and a low charge transfer resistance of 0.57 O cm2 s−1, indicating excellent ion diffusion and electrochemical performance. The CDI experimental results showed that the composite electrode has an excellent desalination performance with 177.12 mg/g of desalination capacity, 9.84 mg/g min−1 of desalination rate and only 0.58 Wh/g of energy consumption. The results of stability experiments shown that the specific capacitance of the MnHCF/MXene electrode retained 93.13 % and 91.31 % in CV and GCD during 150 cycles, respectively.This study provides valuable insights into the strategic structural design of advanced desalination materials and offers critical data to support the application of CDI technology in the treatment of high-salinity wastewater.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
