Carbon-Coated Silver Nanoparticles for Highly Robust Chloride Capture in Electrochemical Desalination and Lithium Recovery.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, electrochemical desalination and resource recovery processes have gained significant attention as means of utilizing waters, wherein the majority of anionic species are chloride ions. There have been research efforts to develop high-performance electrode materials for the chloride uptake. Silver with extremely fast kinetics is an ideal option, but the cost and stability issues are yet to be resolved. Herein, silver nanoparticles with nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) shells are developed for electrochemical Cl^- capture in desalination and lithium recovery processes. Starting from commercial Ag powders, nanosized particles are obtained by the chlorination to AgCl, which is followed by the polydopamine coating and thermal annealing. Interestingly, dopamine polymerization
