Abstract
This study explores the viability of employing polyaniline (PAni) coatings doped with different anions in capacitive deionization (CDI) electrodes for ion recovery purposes. Multiple CDI electrodes were fabricated by electrodepositing PAni in the presence of four mineral acids (HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, and H3PO4) to incorporate the corresponding anions into the PAni network. The results highlight the critical role of dopants and polymerization conditions in determining ion adsorption behavior. Notably, the PAni/H2SO4 electrode achieved approximately 20 % reduction in chloride adsorption while maintaining consistent sulfate adsorption compared to the control. The behavior of PAni/HCl, PAni/HNO3, and PAni/H3PO4 systems were not as pronounced compared to the PAni/H2SO4 system, under tested parameters, highlighting the dopant-dependent influence of polymerization conditions. Specifically focusing on the PAni/H2SO4 system, various polymerization conditions were investigated, and their ion adsorption characteristics were evaluated using a CDI system. It was observed that reducing the monomer concentration or the polymerization duration can enhance the selective properties of the coated electrode in this specific scenario. Additionally, distinct differences in polymer morphology based on polymerization conditions and dopants were observed, underlining the need for further research to understand the influence of these variables on the morphology of the PAni network and the resulting ion adsorption behavior of the coatings.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:
• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
• Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
• Performance, testing and analysis.
