Electrocapacitive Deionization: Mechanisms, Electrodes, and Cell Designs

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 33(18)

Published: Feb. 26, 2023

Abstract Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an emerging water desalination technology for removing different ionic species from water, which based on electric charge compensation by these charged species. CDI becoming popular because it more energy‐efficient and cost‐effective than other technologies, such as reverse osmosis distillation, specifically in dealing with brackish having low or moderate salt concentrations. Over the past decade, research field has witnessed significant advances used electrode materials, cell architectures, associated mechanisms applications. This review article first discusses ion storage/removal carbon Faradaic materials aided advanced situ analysis techniques computations. It then summarizes progress toward terms of structure, surface chemistry, composition. More still, architectures highlighting their design concepts. Finally, current challenges future directions are summarized to provide guidelines research.

Published: April 23, 2023

Scientific research has been acknowledged to play a pivotal role in achieving the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda. Vice-versa, since its adoption, Agenda reinvigorating academic production on sustainable development. This study provides systematic literature review of most used and newly developed approaches by support achievement SDGs EU. The results are presented descriptive, bibliometric, content analysis. descriptive analysis highlights rising interest scholars operationalizing Agenda, with growing at urban level. A text-mining tool was employed scan investigated selected papers. Major is devoted environmental concerns (especially linked SDG 13, 7, 6, 12, 15), while social issues (e.g., 4, 5, 10) still deserve more research. bibliometric unveiled poor intra-cluster connections, highlighting need for transdisciplinary recurrent fields EU governance, circular economy, ecosystem services, localization, decision making. We advise future studies focus gaps highlighted adopt system perspective, boosting Policy Coherence across governance levels scales implementation looking trade-offs assessing context-specific priorities.

Advancing water footprint assessments: Combining the impacts of water pollution and scarcity

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 870, P. 161910 - 161910

Published: Jan. 31, 2023

Several water footprint indicators have been developed to curb freshwater stress. Volumetric footprints support allocation decisions and strive increase productivity in all sectors. In contrast, impact-oriented are used minimize the impacts of use on human health, ecosystems, resources. Efforts combine both perspectives a harmonized framework undertaken, but common challenges remain, such as pollution ecosystems modelling. To address these knowledge gaps, we build upon assessment proposed at conceptual level expand operationalize relevant features. We propose two regionalized indicators, namely biodiversity resource footprint, that aggregate from toxic chemicals, nutrients, scarcity. The first impact indicator represents ecosystems. second one models competition for resources its consequences availability. As part framework, complement with sustainability representing levels above which ecological needs no longer sustained. test our approach assessing European Union 2010. Water stress hampers 15 % domestic, agricultural industrial demand, mainly due irrigation pesticide emissions southern Europe. Moreover, damage is widespread mostly resulting chemical industry. Approximately 5 area exceeding regional limits requirements altogether. Concerted efforts sectors needed reduce consumption under limits. These advances considered an important step toward harmonization volumetric approaches achieve consistent holistic footprinting well contributing strengthen policy relevance assessments.

Water footprint concept, approaches, and applications: A comprehensive review for the agricultural sector

Water and Environment Journal, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 6, 2025

Abstract Water footprint (WF) assessment has emerged as a vital tool for understanding and managing agricultural water consumption amid increasing scarcity. This review synthesizes current knowledge methodological developments in WF research, examining both volumetric Life Cycle Assessment approaches. We analyze key challenges, including component differentiation, effective precipitation estimation, calculation standardization across spatial scales. Recent trends show shift from global assessments toward regional analyses, enabling precise management strategies. The evaluates reduction methods, demonstrating that optimized crop patterns improved practices can significantly reduce consumption. Integration of hydrological models with shows promise improving accuracy. Climate change, varying impacts, emerges critical factor influencing future calculations. While methodology offers valuable insights sustainable management, its practical application requires careful consideration contexts limitations.
