Electrochemical Desalination of Seawater and Hypersaline Brines with Coupled Electricity Storage
Abstract
We present a zinc|ferricyanide hybrid flow battery that achieves extensive first-pass desalination while simultaneously supplying electrical energy (10 Wh/L). We demonstrate 85% salt removal from simulated seawater (35 g/L NaCl) and 86% from hypersaline brine (100 g/L NaCl), together with reversible battery operation over 100 h with high round-trip efficiency (84.8%). The system has a high operating voltage (E 0 = +1.25 V), low specific energy …
