ANION STORAGE ELECTRODE MATERIALS FOR DEALINATION WATER PURIFICATION DEVICE

摘要

A desalting battery includes a first electrode, a second electrode, an intercalation compound contained in the first electrode, a container configured to contain a salt water solution, and an energy source. The intercalation compound includes at least one of a metal oxide, a semimetal oxide, a metal oxychloride, a semimetal oxychloride and a hydrate thereof, each having a ternary or higher order. The first and second electrodes are configured to be in fluid communication with the salt water solution. The energy source is designed to supply electrical current to the first and second electrodes in different operating states in order to bring about a reversible intercalation reaction with the intercalation connection. The intercalation compound provides reversible storage and release of target anions from the salt water solution in order to produce a fresh water solution in one operating state and a waste water solution in another operating state.
