“…These electrodes exhibit excellent electrical conductivity, good wetting behaviour, low contact resistance, low cost, acceptable processability, suitable bio‐inertness and required chemical stability. Activated carbon (AC), carbide generated carbons, carbon aerogel (Thamilselvan et al, 2021), carbon cloth (Yao et al, 2018), carbon nanotube, and other types of carbon were employed in CDI applications. The carbon‐based materials listed above have better pore size distribution, high electrosorption capacity and potential electrochemical properties; however, most of them are too expensive to scale up (carbon nanotube), have poor mechanical stability (carbon aerogel), and have structural instability (graphene) (Li et al, 2020).…”

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an emerging electrochemical‐based adsorption system that has a high capability for the water reclamation with future potential towards an energy‐efficient and cost‐effective technique for industrial implementations. However, the higher cost of electrodes and poor performance limit its scale‐up, and there is a need to focus on a cost‐effective electrode towards economic impacts. Among the various waste resources, plastic sources would be the better precursor for carbonization as the plastic‐derived carbon possess enhanced surface properties and high electrochemical stability. Further, the carbonization of plastic products towards electrode minimizes greenhouse gas emissions, maintains environmental sustainability and achieves a dual benefit of circular economy with water reclamation. This paper highlights the overview of CDI, the significance of electrodes in CDI for electrosorption studies, various synthetic routes of plastic‐derived carbon, and its properties that help the researchers to focus on zero waste discharge‐based CDI process.
