Activated Carbon Blended with Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanoflakes for Capacitive Deionization.

ABSTRACT: Capacitive deionization is a second-generation water desalination technology in which porous electrodes (activated carbon materials) are used to temporarily store ions. In this technology, porous carbon used as electrodes have inherent limitations, such as low electrical conductivity, low capacitance, etc., and, as such, optimization of electrode materials by rational design to obtain hybrid electrodes is key towards improvement in desalination performance. In this work, different compositions of mixture of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and activated carbon (from 5 to 20 wt% RGO) have been prepared and tested as electrodes for brackish water desalination. The physico-chemical and electrochemical properties of the activated carbon (AC), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and as-prepared electrode
