“…While it does not require membranes to operate, the demonstrated power densities of membrane-free CapMix systems are too low to be economically competitive. In a broader sense, CapMix technology embraces ve device types, which are capacitive double layer expansion (CDLE), 16,18,20,22,23 capacitive Donnan potential (CDP), 4,[24][25][26][27][28] mixing entropy battery (MEB), 4,6,19,21,26,[29][30][31] concentration ow cell (CFC), 4,19,26,29,30 and hybrid CapMix (H-CapMix). 32,33 A typical CDLE device uses two activated carbon electrodes and produces the voltage rise resulting from the change of electric double layer (EDL) thickness under different salinities.…”
