Abstract
Generally, carbon nanomaterials are the most widely studied electrode materials for capacitive deionization (CDI) application, but usually exhibit relatively low salt adsorption capacity. To overcome the limits of carbon-based CDI, a new-concept CDI technique, faradaic nanomaterials, have recently been developed and employed for the CDI process, generating a faradaic electrochemical desalination which has shown great potential as an alternative to carbon-based CDI technique. In this chapter, we review the advances of faradaic nanomaterials for CDI application made to date and discuss the future directions in this field.
