摘要：Slow desalination kinetics and poor durability of the electrodes are two key limitations of electrochemical deionization (EDI) that are considered to be the next generation of capacitive desalination (CDI). Herein, we report the design of a high-efficiency chloride removal electrode material for accelerating the desalination kinetics and concurrently improving the durability of EDI, which is based on coating NiMn-Cl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) on the surface of electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNFs@LDHs). The salient features of the as-developed CNFs@LDHs are that applying layer-structured LDHs with abundant redox-active sites to accelerate the pseudo-capacitive ion storage via fast ion intercalation/deintercalation, and leveraging the rigid CNF backbone to strengthen its durability by preventing the potential aggregation of LDHs. As expected, the CNFs@LDH based EDI system displays an ultrafast desalination rate of 0.51 mg g-1 s-1and outstanding long-term stability (only 10.66 % desalination capacity reduction after 35 cycles), which is achieved without sacrificing its excellent desalination capacity (72.04 mg g-1). This work could be inspirational for the future design of ultrafast yet durable EDI approaching industrial desalination applications. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
