Nitrogen-doped hierarchically porous carbon derived from biomass for efficient capture of iodine

Effectively capturing radioactive iodine formed during nuclear energy utilization is crucial for environment protection and human health. Herein, we present a facile and effective strategy to synthesize a nitrogen-doped hierarchically porous carbon from corn stalks for iodine capture in gaseous and liquid environment. The as-prepared carbon material possesses a hierarchically micro/mesopore structure with highly developed mesopores, a large specific surface area (1892.99 m2 g−1), and suitable nitrogen-doping (2.32 at.%). As a result, the carbon material exhibits efficient iodine capture performance, showing a large capture capacity of 3.14 g g−1 at 80 °C for iodine vapor and a fast removal rate of ∼97 % within 5 min for iodine aqueous solution, outperforming most of carbon-based materials for iodine capture reported in literatures. Thermodynamic and kinetic analyses reveal that the adsorption of iodine vapor conforms to the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model, respectively. Density functional theory calculation results indicate that the doped-nitrogen heteroatoms strengthen the interaction between iodine molecules and carbon, which can enhance the affinity for iodine molecules by forming a donor–acceptor complex through the donation of lone-pair electrons, thereby facilitating effective capture of iodine. This work develops a biomass-based porous carbon with potential to efficiently capture radioactive iodine.

Imine-based conjugated polymer enables efficient removal of ammonium ion via capacitive deionization

The design of innovative faradaic electrode materials is crucial for improving the removal efficiency of contaminants in hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI) systems. Organic compounds are a promising choice for faraday electrodes due to the sustainable production and tunable molecular structure. However, their high solubility in aqueous media and limited availability of redox-active sites for deionization greatly constrain the HCDI applications. Herein, we intentionally construct a conjugated polymer (IMP) with abundant imine groups, in which the strategic integration of N-heteroaromatic rings within the π-conjugated framework effectively prevents the disintegration of redox-active entities, while honing the energy bandgap and electronic characteristics. The copious redox-active CN sites within the imine groups along the polymeric chain markedly improve its capacity for the high-efficiency (de)intercalation of NH4+ ions. As an electrode material, the IMP polymer exhibits a significant NH4+-storage capacitance of 257.1 F g−1 at 2 A g−1 and maintains an ultra-cycle stability of 96.1 % after 10,000 cycles (4 A g−1), as evidenced by the in-situ spectral analysis of electrolyte. For real applications, a HCDI configuration has been constructed with a high specific NH4+ adsorption capacity of 119.0 mg g−1 and a fast removal rate of 27.0 mg g−1 min−1 with stable regeneration performance.

Simultaneous photocatalytic removal of tetracycline and hexavalent chromium by BiVO4/0.6CdS photocatalyst: Insights into the performance, evaluation, calculation and mechanism

In this study, a novel Z-scheme heterojunction on bismuth vanadium/cadmium sulfide (BiVO4/0.6CdS) was developed and evaluated for simultaneous photocatalytic removal of combined tetracycline (TC) and hexavalent chromium Cr(Ⅵ) pollution under visible light. Based on the analysis of intermediate products and theoretical calculation, the property of the intermediate products of TC degradation and the effect of built-in electric field (IEF) of composite materials on photo-generated carrier separation were illustrated. According to the experiments and evaluation results, the performance of BiVO4/0.6CdS is higher than CdS 2.83 times and 4.82 times under the visible light conditions, with the aspect of simultaneous oxidizing TC and reducing Cr(Ⅵ), respectively. The catalyst has a faster removal rate in the binary composite pollution system than the single one. Therefore, the photocatalytic degradation of TC using BiVO4/0.6CdS can reduce the toxic effect of TC on the environment. The aforementioned evaluation provides a new design strategy for Z-scheme heterojunction to simultaneous photocatalytic degradation of composite organic and inorganic pollutants.

κ‐Carrageenan/poly(sodium styrenesulfonate‐co‐acrylic acid) macroporous anionic monoliths: Dye adsorption and oil–water separation properties

Abstractκ‐Carrageenan (κC) is a widely used food hydrogel, but its use as an environmental adsorption separation material still needs to be further developed. Herein, a novel macroporous anionic monolith was synthesized by the oil‐in‐water high internal phase emulsion template method. The monolith was obtained by the continuous phase polymerization of sodium styrenesulfonate (NaSS) and acrylic acid (AA), in which κC was introduced to form a semi‐interpenetrating network structure to improve its overall performance. The results showed that the mechanical strength of the monolith increased with κC content. Because of the use of two strong hydrophilic monomers, NaSS and AA, the porous monolith proved to be superoleophobic underwater. In addition, the porous materials had a strong cationic dye adsorption capacity (2455 mg/g for malachite green, 1180 mg/g for methylene blue) and a fast removal rate, good reusability, and oil–water separation. This work highlights their potential application value in the purification of complex water environments.

Removing residual chlorine in water using carbon-based material derived from co-pyrolysis of cotton stalk and desulfurized ash

Herein, an environmentally friendly and low-caste absorbent has been studied to perform with high efficiency and fast removal rate of residual chlorine from wastewater. The chlorine removal absorbent was prepared in situ by co-pyrolysis of desulfurization ash (DA) and cotton stalk (CS) in a tube furnace at 600℃. Compared with CS pyrolysis alone, DA promoted the CS decomposition during co-pyrolysis of DA/CS. The maximum yield of pyrolysis gas was 188 mL/g with 11.33 MJ/Nm3, occurred in the DA/CS blending ratio of 50/100. Moreover, DA also catalyzed the well-developed micropore and mesoporous of cotton-stalk base carbon loaded with DA (CBCDA). The CBCDA with 38.62 wt% DA content had a pore volume of 0.0165 m3/g and a maximum specific surface area of 6.890 m²/g, which 1.96-fold and 1.50-fold higher than that of cotton-stalk base carbon, respectively. The further analysis of adsorption revealed that CaSO3 scattered on the surface of CBCDA fast and efficiently converted hypochlorite ion into chloride ion. The absorbent purified 90.02% residual chlorine from 12 mg/L wastewater within 30 min. Therefore, CBCDA absorbent offers a promising approach for fast and highly efficient purification of residual chlorine in wastewater.

Efficiency and Cost of the “Fenton+Recapter” Combined Process for Treating the Electroplating Nickel Wastewater

The aim of this work was to investigate the “Fenton+Recapter” combined process for treating electroplating nickel wastewater. Firstly, five commonly used dithiocarbamate heavy recapters (DTC types) were compared and selected through trial tests. Then, the optimization of the sole Fenton process was carried out, including the dosing molar ratio of Fe2+/H2O2, the dosage of H2O2 and the reaction time. At last, the optimization and cost analysis of the combination process was carried out to meet the nickel wastewater treatment standards and to determine the optimal fit point. The experimental results showed that DTC-2 was a more suitable heavy recapter, with advantages of wide pH adaptation range (3.0-11.0), strong anti-interference, fast Ni removal rate, and low cost (1.20 ¥/t). The optimal molar ratio of Fe2+/H2O2 in the sole Fenton process was determined to be 0.8, which resulted in the optimum breaking effect and a 98.5% removal rate of Ni. The optimization of the combined process parameters showed that when the dosage of heavy recapter DTC-2 (1%) was 0.08 mg/L, 0.19 mg/L, 0.5 mg/L, 1.25 mg/L, 7.5 mg/L, and 25 mL/L respectively, the residual concentration of Ni in Fenton effluent was 0.2 mg/L, 0.3 mg/L, 0.5 mg/L, 0.7 mg/L, 1.0 mg/L, and 1.5 mg/L, which all could meet the discharge standards (concentration of Ni ≤0.1 mg/L). The best fit for the “Fenton+Recapter” combined process was to first treat nickel wastewater with Fenton until the Ni concentration was about 1.0 mg/L, and then use heavy recapter DTC-2 to capture and treat the wastewater until it meets the standard discharge. Under this condition, the treatment cost of the combined process was the lowest (7.79 ¥/t).

Facile fabrication of embedded g-C3N4/MoS2 nano-adsorbent for the removal of persistent rhodamine B contaminant in aqueous solution

In this study, a superior nanocomposite adsorbent g-C3N4/MoS2 was synthesized for the removal of an environmentally noxious pollutant rhodamine B. The nanocomposite showed fast adsorptive removal rate of more than 97% in 90 min.

Improving the sorption properties of mesoporous carbons for the removal of cobalt, nickel and manganese from spent lithium-ion batteries effluent

The competitive sorption of Co2+, Li+, Ni2+, and Mn2+, strategic metals from spent lithium-ion batteries and their leachates, was studied using activated mesoporous carbons. The mesoporous carbon was synthesized by the replica method using silica gel as a template and exhibited a high surface area with an accessible pore volume due to mesopores (Vmeso > 95%). Fast kinetics and high sorption capacities of these metals were achieved with the chemical activation of mesoporous carbons. The surface modification of the mesoporous carbon was carried out by physical activation with O2 at 450 °C and chemical activation under mild conditions (room temperatures) with NaClO2/H2O2 as oxidizing agents. FTIR analysis and conductimetric titration showed that the combination of an initial physical activation step, followed by chemical functionalization, maximized the formation of carboxylic acids (from 0.2 to 0.9 meq/g), due to the complete oxidation of the weakly acidic groups. Those carbons were tested in sorption experiments of the lithium-ion battery metals in monometallic solutions, where physically activated and chemically reactivated mesoporous carbon selectively removed over 80% of Co2+, Ni2+, and Mn2+, with sorption capacities over 20 mg/g, while only 20% of Li+ was removed. This carbon stood out amongst the others studied (2 to 11-fold increase in sorption capacities depending on the metal) and was tested in multimetallic solutions, showing fast removal rates, reaching equilibrium within the first 15 min, as well as selectivity towards divalent cations (18 mg/g of Co2+) with insignificant lithium sorption (qLi = 0.33 mg/g). Desorption of metals was carried out using H2SO4, which allowed the recovery and twofold of the initial concentrations of Co, Ni, and Mn.

Transformation of Cu(OH)2 to mesostructural copper-silicate in alkaline silicate solution

Mesoporous materials with high surface area, tunable pore size, and large pore volume have applications in catalysis, adsorption, and optical devices. While the templating method has been used widely to synthesize these materials, removing the organic template leads to energy and chemical waste, and the emission of CO2 greenhouse gas. Here, a new non-organic templating method, based on structural transformation, is proposed to prepare mesostructural copper silicate with a high surface area (425 m2g-1) and large pore volume. This mesostructural transformation is already achieved by hydrothermally treating the Cu(OH)2 crystalline precipitate in an alkaline silicate aqueous solution. The copper silicate platelets obtained from a 5-day hydrothermal treatment in silicate solution have mesopores of about 3.5 nm. For the applications in absorption and catalyst application, the copper silicate has a high absorption efficiency (∼67%) and a fast removal rate toward PH3 gas at 600 ppb and a high-performance catalyst (yield of phenol derivatives about 86%) for the C–O coupling reaction. The mesostructural copper silicate platelets offer a cost-effective and environmentally friendly production method due to their flexible and straightforward preparation process. The synthetic route provides a promising approach to preparing different mesoporous metal silicates.

Chemical functionalization of drinking water treatment residuals with calcium silicate hydrate to treat metal-enriched waters

Drinking water treatment residuals (DWTRs) provide an opportunity to further embrace circular economy in the urban water cycle. DWTRs surface properties can be improved by chemical functionalization to enhance the pollutant removal performance. Fe/Al-DWTRs were functionalized with nanostructured calcium silicate (nanoCSH) to remove Cu(II) and As(V) from rivers, simulating an accidental acid spill. Model raw DWTRs were generated using raw water. DWTRs were physicochemically characterized by a multi-technique approach (SEM-EDS, FT-IR, BET, XRD). Sorption experiments were performed using Cu(II) and As(V) by varying the initial pH and DWTRs doses. Compared with raw DWTRs, NanoCSH_DWTRs demonstrated a higher removal efficiency in acidic settings, faster removal rates, and higher effectiveness at lower dosages. Kinetic and equilibrium sorption experiments were performed. Experiments simulating accidental Cu and As pollution from acid drainage revealed that NanoCSH_DWTRs had a higher collective removal of As(V) when Cu(II) was present, most likely due to the synergistic relationship formed by the tertiary metal-surface complexes. An application approach was implemented using theoretical case studies. NanoCSH_DWTRs reduced the dose required to treat metal(loid)-enriched water compared to raw DWTRs. NanoCSH_DWTRs would provide an alternative as a first line of defense against the accidental release of acidic drainage.

Comparing the electrochemical degradation of levofloxacin using the modified Ti/SnO2 electrode in different electrolytes

The purpose of this study is to develop an electrode material with high electrocatalytic activity, good stability and low price for the degradation of the new pollutant - antibiotic levofloxacin (LEV). A novel modified Ti/SnO2 electrode is prepared using a sol–gel method combined with spraying. The morphology of the Ti/SnO2-Sb-Ni/SiO2 electrode was performed by field emission scanning electron microscopy, which revealed a smooth and flat surface. It can be seen from the results of X-ray diffraction and electrochemical tests, the electrode possessed finer grain size (2.68 nm) and slightly higher oxygen evolution potential (OEP, 1.87 V). Electrochemical degradation experiments show that the removal rate of LEV in Na2SO4 and NaNO3 solutions reached 100% after 10 min reaction, while in NaCl solution the reaction time (LEV 100% removal) was shortened to 3 min, indicating a faster removal rate. An electrical energy consumption per order of magnitude (EE/O) of LEV degraded by Ti/SnO2-Sb-Ni/SiO2 electrode was only 0.59 kWh m−3 for an initial concentration of 20 mg/L LEV with a volume of 400 mL. According to the changes of UV–visible absorption spectra during the LEV degradation, the damage degree of conjugated structures in LEV molecules varies with different electrolytes. The existence of hydroxyl radical (•OH) and sulfate radical (SO4•−) was confirmed by radical quenching experiment and EPR text with 100 mM 5,5-Dimethyl-1-pyrrolidine N-oxide (DMPO). In different electrolytes, SO4•− (in Na2SO4 solution), •OH (in NaNO3 solution) and active chlorine(in NaCl solution) played a leading role in LEV degradation, respectively.

Modeling and spectroscopic investigation of U(VI) removal on porous amidoxime-functionalized metal organic framework derived from macromolecular carbohydrate

The investigation of interaction mechanism of U(VI) selective removal on amidoxime-functionalized metal organic framework (i.e., UiO-66(Zr)-AO) derived from macromolecular carbohydrate is conducive to apply metal organic frameworks in actual environmental remediation. The batch experiments showed that UiO-66(Zr)-AO displayed the fast removal rate (equilibrium time of 0.5 h), high adsorption capacity (384.6 mg/g), excellent regeneration performance (<10 % decrease after three cycles) towards U(VI) removal due to the unprecedented chemical stability, large surface area and simple fabrication. U(VI) removal at different pH can be satisfactorily fitted by diffuse layer modeling with cation exchange at low pH and an inner-sphere surface complexation at high pH. The inner-sphere surface complexation was further demonstrated by X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. These findings revealed that UiO-66(Zr)-AO can be an effective adsorbent to remove the radionuclides from aqueous solution, which is crucial for recycling of uranium resource and decreasing the uranium harm to the environment.

Oxime@Zirconium-Metal–Organic Framework Hybrid Material as a Potential Antidote for Organophosphate Poisoning

A novel material with dual activity toward organophosphate (OP) poisoning, based on Zr-MOF-808 and neutral oxime RS69N, has been prepared. The hybrid material has a significant drug payload (5.2 ± 0.9 oxime to MOF-808 molar ratio) and shows a sustained oxime release in simulated physiological media, leading to the successful reactivation of OP-inhibited acetylcholinesterase. At the same time, the hybrid system presents an efficient and moderately fast removal rate of a toxic organophosphorus model compound (diisopropylfluorophosphate) from simulated physiological media (t1/2 = 183 min; 95% removal rate after 24 h).

Characterising operational performance and oxygen crossover of the low-cost cylindrical cathode in microbial fuel cells

The cylindrical cathode has been used in microbial fuel cells (MFC) to achieve a large cathode area and high operational performance. However, the high material cost of cylindrical cathodes limits their practical application. To overcome this, a low-cost cylindrical cathode was successfully developed by coating activated carbon-based catalysts uniformly on the surface of cylindrical stainless steel mesh. The MFCs with the low-cost cylindrical cathodes could obtain a large surface area (up to 509 m2/m3), high power density (81.4 W/m3) and fast organic matter removal rate (−0.32 h−1). However, long-term operation showed that a cathode area larger than 104 m2/m3 could induce excessive oxygen crossover and substantially reduce the power stability of MFC. A numerical study showed that the oxygen crossover was affected by cathode properties such as surface area, current and biofilm. Accordingly, potential controlling methods were proposed. This study will benefit the practical application of cylindrical cathodes.

Selective adsorption of palladium ions from wastewater by ion-imprinted MIL-101(Cr) derived from waste polyethylene terephthalate: Isotherms and kinetics

Novel ion-imprinted (IP) MIL-101(Cr) was synthesized through post-modification for the selective recognition and removal of divalent palladium Pd2+ ions from an aqueous environment. Several techniques were used to confirm the successful preparation of the IPMIL-101(Cr) and its derivative non-ion imprinted polymer (NIMIL-101(Cr) adsorbent. The IPMIl-101(Cr) showed a highest removal of Pd2+ ions at pH 2.0 and the data fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm which gave the maximum adsorption capacity of 193.2 mg.g−1. The data revealed that the adsorption of Pd2+ ions increased with an increasing temperature, implying an endothermic process as supported by the positive ΔH values = 13.91 kJ.mol−1 and 11.80 kJ.mol−1 for the IPMIL-101(Cr) and NIMIL-101(Cr), respectively. In addition, the negative values of ΔG proved that the IPMIL-101(Cr) and NIMIL-101(Cr) materials spontaneously adsorbed Pd2+ ions. This interaction occurs at a higher degree of disorderness as predicted by the positive ΔS values = 10.27 kJ.K−1.mol−1 and 1.79 kJ.K−1.mol−1 for the IPMIL-101(Cr) and NIMIL-101(Cr). Adsorption kinetics showed a fast removal rate of Pd2+ ions onto the IPMIL-101(Cr) which fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model. Competing ions studies displayed that the IPMIL-101(Cr) adsorbent has high selectivity towards Pd2+ as the percentage removal reached more than 80% in the presence of various cations and anions. The IPMIL-101(Cr) adsorbent was regenerated and reused for five consecutive cycles without significant loss of the adsorption capacity. This work reveals the promising application of the IPMIL-101(Cr) for recovering and removing Pd2+ ions from industrial wastewater.

Study on mass concentration and morphology of SMAW fume particles with a new covered electrode using nano-CaTiO3 as an arc stabilizer

Advances in manufacturing emphasize on the development of sustainable and green manufacturing processes. Welding is a popular manufacturing process practiced worldwide. The paper presented here describes a new covered electrode for a shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process wherein nano-sized calcium titanate (CaTiO3) powder was used as an arc stabilizer, replacing the conventional micro sized CaTiO3 in the flux. The effect of this flux modification on the mass concentration and morphology of welding fume particulates was systematically investigated. The mass concentration of coarse, fine and sub-micron sized fume particulates was measured by segregating the fumes in a four-stage personal cascade impactor. The particle mass distribution was estimated from the mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) and geometric standard deviation (GSD) of the fume particulates. The morphology of fumes at each impactor stage was analysed using scanning electron microscopy and its count median diameter (CMD) was determined. The results indicated as much as 48 % reduction in total fumes and 54 % reduction in the breathing zone concentration of fumes when the entire CaTiO3 in the electrode flux was substituted with nano-CaTiO3. Morphological analysis indicated that a large fraction of the fumes from the conventional electrode were polydispersed particles, while the new electrodes predominantly contained monodispersed particles which have a relatively faster rate of removal from the lungs. Overall, the present work indicated that introducing nano sized CaTiO3 as an arc stabilizer to the flux covering of SMAW electrode could not only reduce the hazardous fume emissions but also reduce its biological activity and toxicity, thus making the process more sustainable and environment friendly.

Facile synthesis and study of functional porous organic polyaminals with ultrahigh adsorption capacities and fast removal rate for rhodamine B dye

In this work, a series of low-cost novel porous organic polyaminals (POAs) were constructed through a one-pot catalyst-free Schiff-base condensation reaction with simple triazine-based multiamines and commercial aromatic aldehydes. These resulting porous polymer materials exhibited BET surface areas of 470–814 m2 g−1 and hierarchical pore distributions in the range of 0.58–1.63 nm. Owing to their high surface areas, hierarchical pore distributions, nitrogen-rich skeletons, and favorable water dispersibility accompanied by functional COOH and OH groups, POAs displayed high adsorption capacities and fast adsorption process of rhodamine B (RhB) for 1851, 1810, and 2161 mg g−1 of POA-Ph, POA-OH, and POA-COOH. These RhB adsorption capacities exceeded those of most of the reported POP materials. The theory simulation was introduced to comprehend the host-guest interaction adjustment between POAs and RhB molecules. Meanwhile, the perfect dynamic column adsorption modeling experiments revealed the high-efficiency adsorption separation abilities of POAs approaching actual application situations. These excellent adsorption properties made POAs good candidates for potential applications in water treatment. This study provides useful guidance for the design and preparation of low-cost and highly efficient POP dye adsorption materials.

Phosphate removal and recovery by lanthanum-based adsorbents: A review for current advances.

Controlling eutrophication and recovering phosphate from water bodies are hot issues in the 21st century. Adsorption is considered to be the best method for phosphate removal because of its high adsorption efficiency and fast removal rate. Among the many adsorbents, lanthanum (La)-based adsorbents have been paid more and more attention due to their strong affinity to phosphorus. This paper reviews research of phosphate adsorption on La-based adsorbents in different La forms, including lanthanum oxide/hydroxide, lanthanum mixed metal oxide/hydroxide, lanthanum carbonate, La3+, La-based metal-organic framework (La-MOF) and La-MOF derivatives. The La-based adsorbents can be loaded on many carriers, such as carbon material, clay minerals, porous silica, polymers, industrial wastes, and others. We find that lanthanum oxide/hydroxide and La3+ adsorbents are mostly studied, while those in the forms of lanthanum carbonate, La-MOF, and La-MOF derivatives are relatively few. The kinetic process of most phosphate adsorption is pseudo-second-order and the isotherm process is in accordance with the Langmuir model. The cost of La-based and other traditional adsorbents was compared. The adsorption mechanisms are categorized as electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange, Lewis acid-base interaction, ion exchange and surface precipitation. Besides, regeneration methods of La-based adsorbents are mainly acid, alkali, and salt-alkali. In addition, the La-based adsorbents after absorbing phosphate can be directly used as a slow-release fertilizer. This review provides a basis for the research on phosphate adsorption by La-based adsorbents. It should be carried out to further develop La-based materials with high adsorption capacity and good regeneration ability. Meanwhile, studies have been conducted on the reuse of phosphate after desorption, which needs more attention in future research.

Alginate-modified biochar derived from rice husk waste for improvement uptake performance of lead in wastewater

In this work, alginate-modified biochar derived from rice husk waste was synthesized using a simple process. The modified biochar (MBC) and rice husk biochar (RhBC) were investigated for removing Pb (II) ions in wastewater. The BET result displayed significantly improved specific surface area of MBC up to 120 m2/g along with a total pore volume of 0.653 cm3/g. FTIR spectrums presented the higher oxygen-contained functional groups of MBC as compared to RhBC, resulting in increasing adsorption capacity of Pb (II). MBC had higher adsorption capacity (112.3 mg/g) and faster removal rate (0.0081 g mg−1 min−1) than those of RhBC (41.2 mg/g and 0.00025 g mg−1 min−1). Modified RhBC can remove more than 99% of Pb (II) from wastewater and it could be utilized for three cycles with a removal performance of over 90%. In addition, the Pb adsorption mechanism by using MBC was proposed and the practical application of MBC for the treatment of wastewater in Vietnam was discussed.

Efficient and Durable Sodium, Chloride-doped Iron Oxide-Hydroxide Nanohybrid-Promoted Capacitive Deionization of Saline Water via Synergetic Pseudocapacitive Process.

Recently, the rational design and development of efficient faradaic deionization electrodes with high theoretical capacitance, natural abundance, and attractive conductivity have shown great promise for outstanding capacitive deionization (CDI)‐based desalination applications. Herein, the construction of novel FeOOH hybrid heterostructures with Na and Cl dopants (e.g., Na‐FeOOH and Cl‐FeOOH) via a robust hydrothermal strategy is reported, and an asymmetric CDI cell (Na‐FeOOH//Cl‐FeOOH) comprising Na‐FeOOH and Cl‐FeOOH working as the cathode and anode, respectively, is assembled. The multiple coupling effects of the specific structural features (e.g., enriched porosity, hierarchical pore alignment, and highly open crystalline framework), enhanced electrochemical conductivity, and optimized ion‐transfer property endow the FeOOH hybrid electrode with improved electrochemical performance. Impressively, the Na‐FeOOH//Cl‐FeOOH cell demonstrates a superior salt adsorption capacity (SACNaCl) of 35.12 mg g−1 in a 500 mg L−1 NaCl solution, a faster removal rate, and remarkable cycling stability. Moreover, the pseudocapacitive removal mechanism from the synergetic contribution of the Na‐FeOOH cathode and Cl‐FeOOH anode account for the significant desalination promotion of the Na‐FeOOH//Cl‐FeOOH cell.
