Abstract
A method of manufacturing a capacitive deionization (CDI) device for treating water, a CDI device for treating water and a method of forming an electrode for capacitive deionization are provided. The method includes forming a pair of electrosorptive electrodes, forming a spacer compartment including a spacer layer and forming surface plates. The electrosorptive electrodes, the spacer compartment and the surface plates are assembled to form a flow channel for water treatment with the spacer compartment being arranged between the pair of electrosorptive electrodes. The electrosorptive electrodes may be formed by loading a solution of electrosorptive materials or ion-exchange materials into a dispenser and spraying the solution from the dispenser onto current collectors. Alternatively, the electrosorptive electrodes may comprise of two-dimensional (2D) MXene materials.
