Spinel LiMn₂O₄ as a Capacitive Deionization Electrode Material with High Desalination Capacity: Experiment and Simulation.

ABSTRACT: Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a newly developed desalination technology with low energy consumption and environmental friendliness. The surface area restricts the desalination capacities of traditional carbon-based CDI electrodes while battery materials emerge as CDI electrodes with high performances due to the larger electrochemical capacities, but suffer limited production of materials. LiMn₂O₄ is a massively-produced lithium-ion battery material with a stable spinel structure and a high theoretical specific capacity of 148 mAh·g^-1, revealing a promising candidate for CDI electrode. Herein, we employed spinel LiMn₂O₄ as the cathode and activated carbon as the anode in the CDI cell with an anion exchange membrane to limit the movem
