“…Table 1 represents the description of the symbols used in metrics equations. Among many reports, salt adsorption capacity (SAC) (Chen, Li, et al, 2020), average salt adsorption rate for standard and flow‐electrode capacitive deionization (ASAR N and ASAR FCDI ) (Li, Ning, et al, 2020; Liu, Qiu, Deng, et al, 2020), and charge efficiency (CE) (Gao et al, 2019) are the most commonly used performance metrics and calculated by Equations ()–(), respectively. Further, salt removal efficiency (SRE) is calculated by Equation () (Chen, Li, et al, 2020). …”
