Capacitive deionization is an emerging water desalination technology for industrial applications. Recent advancements in electrode design and system development have led to the reporting of ultra-high salt adsorption performance, benefiting its potential application in agricultural water treatment at a potentially low cost. In this study, we provide a comprehensive summary of the porous electrode design strategy to achieve ultra-high ion adsorption performance, considering factors such as experimental parameters, chemically tuned material properties, redox chemistry and smart nanoarchitecture for future electrode design. Furthermore, we endeavor to establish a correlation between capacitive deionization (CDI) technology and its applicability in the agricultural sector, specifically concentrating on water treatment with an emphasis on undesirable ions associated with salinity, hardness, and heavy metals, to achieve harmless irrigation. Additionally, to ensure the efficient and cost-effective application of CDI systems in agriculture, a thorough overview of the literature on CDI cost analysis is presented. By addressing these aspects, we anticipate that ultra-high salt adsorption CDI systems hold great promise in future agricultural applications.

Highly selective and efficient extraction of lithium from brine is considered a promising strategy to alleviate the imbalance between supply and demand of lithium resources. However, it is still challenging for lithium ions (Li) recovery from brine. In this work, LiMnO nanoparticles embedded in situ in carbon networks (LMO-C) derived from metal-organic frameworks by incomplete calcination have been developed for lithium extraction from brine via the hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI) process.

Recently, hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI) has garnered significant attention for its potential in the selective extraction of cesium (Cs) from radioactive wastewater and salt lakes, which is crucial for resolving the supply-demand imbalance of cesium resources and eliminating radioactive contamination. However, developing HCDI electrodes capable of effectively separating and extracting Cs remains a significant challenge. In this work, we proposed an innovative strategy involving the doping of inactive metal ions to develop zinc-doped manganese hexacyanoferrate (ZMFC) as an HCDI cathode.
