MXenes, as a novel two-dimensional lamellar material, has attracted much attention. However, MXenes lamellar are prone to collapse and stacking under hydrogen bonding and interlayer van der Waals forces, which affects their electrochemical and capacitive deionization performance. A three-dimensional Ni-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate/TiCT (Ni-BTC/TiCT) composite electrode material was developed to enhance the electrochemical and capacitive deionization performance. The uniformly decorated Ni-BTC can prevent MXenes from aggregation and provide a large specific surface area and rich pore structure. As a substrate supporting Ni-BTC, MXenes can effectively disperse the growth of Ni-BTC and enhance the ion transport rate. In addition, the unique three-dimensional structure of Ni-BTC/TiCT provides horizontal charge transfer paths like two-dimensional nanosheets and has unique vertical charge transfer paths between nanosheets. Therefore, the Ni-BTC/TiCT exhibits an exceptional chromium(VI) removal rate of 94.1%. The electrosorption capacity of the Ni-BTC/TiCT for chromium(VI) is 124.5 mg g, much higher than that of the pure TiCT (55.5 mg g). The superior CDI efficiency accomplished through the Ni-BTC/TiCT electrode is due to the unique three-dimensional network structure and synergistic effect of the pseudocapacitance generated by the unique assembly of Ni-BTC and TiCT. Ni-BTC/TiCT is a promising CDI electrode material that can be used for capacitive deionization.

Membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) is an electrochemical ion separation process that combines ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) with porous carbon electrodes to enhance desalination efficiency and address the limitations of conventional capacitive deionization (CDI). In this study, a cation-exchange membrane (CEM) embedded with a metal-organic framework (MOF) was developed to effectively separate monovalent and multivalent cations in influent solutions via MCDI. To fabricate CEMs with high monovalent ion selectivity, ZIF-8 was incorporated into sulfonated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (SPPO) at various weight ratios.

The global transition to clean energy technologies has escalated the demand for lithium (Li), a critical component in rechargeable Li-ion batteries, highlighting the urgent need for efficient and sustainable Li extraction methods. Nanofiltration (NF)-based separations have emerged as a promising solution, offering selective separation capabilities that could advance resource extraction and recovery. However, an NF-based lithium extraction process differs significantly from conventional water treatment, necessitating a paradigm shift in membrane materials design, performance evaluation metrics, and process optimization.
