Abstract
AbstractTransition metal oxides suffer from slow salt removal rate (SRR) due to inferior ions diffusion ability in hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI). Local electric field (LEF) can efficiently improve the ions diffusion kinetics in thin electrodes for electrochemical energy storage. Nevertheless, it is still a challenge to facilitate the ions diffusion in bulk electrodes with high loading mass for HCDI. Herein, this work delicately constructs a LEF via engineering atomic‐level donor (O vacancies)–acceptor (Mn atoms) couples, which significantly facilitates the ions diffusion and then enables a high‐performance HCDI. The LEF boosts an extended accelerated ions diffusion channel at the particle surface and interparticle space, resulting in both remarkably enhanced SRR and salt removal capacity. Convincingly, the theoretical calculations demonstrate that electron‐enriched Mn atoms center coupled with an electron‐depleted O vacancies center is formed due to the electron back‐donation from O vacancies to adjacent Mn centers. The resulted LEF efficiently reduce the ions diffusion energy barrier. This work sheds light on the effect of atomic‐level LEF on improving ions diffusion kinetics at high loading mass application and paves the way for the design of transition metal oxides toward high‐performance HCDI applications.
