Efficient removal of copper ions through photothermal enhanced flow-electrode capacitive deionization
Removing Cu<sup>2+</sup> from wastewater through capacitive deionization at low temperatures is a great challenge. Herein, a new strategy for enhancing the performance was developed using photothermal carbon nanospheres as the electrodes. Upon irradiating with sunlight, the Cu<sup>2+</sup> removal rate and Cu<sup>2+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup> selectivity were increased by 74% and 43%, respectively.
