Achieving Exceptional Volumetric Desalination Capacity Using Compact MoS 2 Nanolaminates
Résumé
Abstract Capacitive deionization (CDI) has emerged as a promising technology for freshwater recovery from low‐salinity brackish water. It is still inapplicable in specific scenarios (e.g., households, islands, or offshore platforms) due to too low volumetric adsorption capacities. In this study, a high‐density semi‐metallic molybdenum disulfide (1Tʹ‐MoS 2 ) electrode with compact architecture obtained by restacking of exfoliated nanosheets, which achieve high capacitance up to ≈277.5 F cm −3 under an ultrahigh scan rate of 1000 mV s −1 with a lower charge‐transfer resistance and nearly tenfold higher electrochemical active surface area than the 2H‐MoS 2 electrode, is reported. Furthermore, 1Tʹ‐MoS 2 electrode demonstrates exceptional volumetric desalination capacity of 65.1 mg NaCl cm −3 in CDI experiments. Ex situ X‐ray diffraction (XRD) reveal that the cation storage mechanism with the dynamic expansion of 1Tʹ‐MoS 2 interlayer to accommodate cations such as Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , and Mg 2+ , which in turn enhances the capacity. Theoretical analysis unveils that 1Tʹ phase is thermodynamically preferable over 2H phase, the ion hydration and channel confinement also play critical role in enhancing ion adsorption. Overall, this work provides a new method to design compact 2D‐layered nanolaminates with high‐volumetric performance for CDI desalination.
