新结构高性能多尺度复合炭素材料的设计、合成及其海水淡化性能研究

The consumption and sustainable supply of fresh water have become one of the top priority issues faced by the global community. Recently, the capacitive deionization (CDI) technology for desalination has drawn much attention because of its potential as an environmentally-friendly yet energy-efficient alternative to membrane desalination and thermal processes currently available for producing fresh water from salted water sources. For the CDI technology, the electrode materials with tuned pore structure and surface properties and functions such as conductivity are the key to an efficient desalination process. This project aims to deliver techniques that can greatly improve the adsorptive capacity and the ion selectivity of the carbon electrodes used in CDI processes. For this project, the main issues to be addressed include, but not limited to: to develop new strategies for fabricating novel hierarchical functional carbon materials with tuned structure and properties for CDI; to develop techniques for tuning the pore structures and surface properties of the concerned carbon materials as electrosorptive electrodes; to study the interaction of the ions with pore surface and interfaces in the carbon electrodes and to understand the transport mechanism in the pore structures; to develop and establish strategies for the design and large scale fabrication of the carbon electrodes with different yet tuned forms and textures in general, and with greatly improved long-life reusable performance for CDI in particular; to develop new principles and methods that will pave a new way for making competitive low-operation-cost CDI processes to solve the bottle-neck problems faced by the desalination of salted water resources. These efforts will give an impetus to the development of the CDI technologies not only in China but also in the world.
