Abstract

Hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI) is energetically and operationally favorable for Li+ extraction from salt lake brines. The bottlenecks of current LiMn2O4 (LMO)-based electrodes are their limited Li+ adsorption rate and capacity, caused by disordered electron/ion transport channels and insufficient ion-accessible sites. Inspired by selective ion uptake processes in mangroves, we propose the strategy, fabricating ultrashort, vertically aligned channels for Li+ transport in the electrode to enhance the Li+ selective performance of HCDI. The self-supporting graphene/LMO/bacterial cellulose electrode featuring vertically aligned channels (VGLB) possesses sturdy framework, excellent electrical conductivity,…
