Abstract:Novel composite electrodes were developed for application in membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI). Activated carbon (AC) was dispersed in a solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) mixed with polyacrylic acid (PAA) or poly dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (PDMDAAC), and cast onto the surface of an AC‐based modified graphite electrode, prepared by phase inversion, to form a composite membrane further cross‐linked with glutaraldehyde (GA). The effect of the cross‐linking on the chemical structure of the PVA‐ba… Show more
