Abstract:

With the intensification of the global energy crisis and the introduction of carbon neutrality, resources and energy recovery have become research hotspots in the field of wastewater treatment. Capacitive deionization (CDI) has attracted widespread attention for its energy-saving and pollution-free superiorities as a new type of electrochemical technology. By combining one pair of ion exchange membranes and flow electrode based on the basis of traditional CDI device, the flow electrode capacitive deionization(FCDI) achieves continuous operation for uninterrupted water production. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the research progress and future prospects of FCDI, focuses on the topics of principles, cell design (including cell architecture, electrode materials, separator options, and FCDI configurations), operation modes (ICC, SCC, OC, and SC) as well as applications in the environmental field (including sewage treatment, energy recovery and other emerging applications). In addition, this article also introduces the commonly used performance metrics of FCDI for comparison between different systems and operating conditions. Finally, the feasibility and main challenges of FCDI technology in future applications are introduced.
