Abstract:

To efficiently remove Cs⁺ from aqueous solutions,activated carbon fiber cloth/copper hexacyanoferrate(ACC/CuHCF) composite electrodes were successfully fabricatedvia a coprecipitation method.In combination with capacitive deionization(CDI) technology, the effects of applied voltage,initial Cs⁺ concentration,competing ions,and cycling usage on adsorption performance were investigated.The electrode material′s morphology,structure,elemental composition,and electrochemical properties were characterized using varieties techniques.The results indicated that ACC/CuHCF exhibited a face-centered cubic structure,which facilitated ion migration and demonstrated excellent electrochemical adsorption performance.Under optimized conditions,the composite electrode achieved a maximum adsorption capacity of 184.98 mg/g for Cs⁺.Moreover,the ACC/CuHCF composite electrode demonstrated excellent Cs⁺ selectivity and robust cycling stability.Adsorption kinetics and isotherm model fitting revealed a surface-heterogeneous monolayer chemisorption process,with the rate controlled by diffusion resistance within the particles.This study provided an effective strategy for the efficient removal of Cs⁺ from aqueous solutions.
