Conductive Adsorbent for Electrically Controlled Desorption and Sequential Release of Aqueous Mixture

Advanced Functional Materials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Сен. 27, 2024

Abstract Adsorption is a classical physicochemical process, widely used in heterogeneous catalysis, chemical engineering, and environmental science. Regenerating the exhausted adsorbents or reversible desorption vital to achieving sustainable adsorption techniques, while common chemical/thermal regeneration energy‐intensive environmentally unfriendly. Given that adsorbents’ surface properties like charge electronic structures, significantly affect capacity kinetics, which offers opportunities for green by tailoring chemical/electronic features. Since certain adsorbate possesses specific energy on adsorbents, an electro‐desorption idea therefore proposed electrically control (sequential) release of aqueous substances regulating interfacial interaction above corresponding threshold potential. Herein, as proof‐of‐concept design, sub‐millimeter‐sized carbon nanotube‐reinforced conductive resin composite adsorbent with high conductivity mechanical strength developed, demonstrates efficiency toward benzoic acid (94.1%; 3 V negative bias) well‐controlled kinetics polarization. Using terephthalic model organic mixtures, exhibits efficient bias‐dependent sequential capability separating mixtures. This work provides promising solution desorption/regeneration pioneering electrically‐driven strategy mixture separation.
