Battery-type faradaic materials are considered a class of promising electrodes for capacitive deionization (CDI) due to their superior ability to store ions through redox reactions. However, the desalination potential of such electrode materials has not been fully explored subject to the accessibility, conductivity, stability, etc. Herein, embedded battery material Ag nanoparticles is designed in capsule-structural units composed of graphene and constructed freestanding composite electrodes for CDI. Particularly, these Ag nanoparticles confined in interconnected graphene capsules can be both efficiently accessed by the electrolyte and rationally protected by the capsule networks, significantly unlocking their potential as desalination materials. Impressively, the optimized Ag-involved anodes can achieve an ultrahigh NaCl desalination capacity of ≈360 mg g (≈218 mg g for Cl) at 1.4 V and exhibit good cycling stability. Moreover, the as-designed anodes also have very competitive desalination capacities for other anions, such as SO2- 4 (≈90 mg g) and CrO2- 4 (≈77 mg g), suggesting the broad applicability of such Ag-involved electrodes. This work shows that the ingenious introduction of space-confined structures is an effective means of unlocking the desalination potential of Ag-based materials, opening up alternative avenues for the development of other high-performance battery-type desalination electrodes.

The transition metal-based layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been extensively studied as promising functional nanomaterials owing to their excellent electrochemical activity and tunable chemical composition. In this work, using acetate anions (Ac) as intercalating elements, the NiCo-LDH nanosheets arraying on Ni foam with different amounts of Ac anion intercalation or volume of hydrothermal solution were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The optimized amount of Ac anions expanded the interlayer space of LDH nanosheets from 0.

The recent advances in chloride-ion capturing electrodes for capacitive deionization (CDI) are limited by the capacity, rate, and stability of desalination. This work introduces Ti C T /Ag synthesized via a facile oxidation-reduction method and then uses it as an anode for chloride-ion capture in CDI. Silver nanoparticles are formed successfully and uniformly distributed with the layered-structure of Ti C T .
