High-Efficiency Solar Desalination Accompanying Electrocatalytic Conversions of Desalted Chloride and Captured Carbon Dioxide
The sustainability of conventional water- and energy-associated systems is being examined in terms of water–energy nexus. This study presents a high-efficiency, off-grid solar desalination system for saline water (salinities 10 and 36 g L–1) that accompanies electrocatalytic oxidations of chloride and, consequently, urine via oxidized chlorine species while concomitantly producing formate from captured CO2. A variable number of desalination cell arrays is placed between a double-layered nanoparticulate titania electrocatalyst (Ti/IrxTa1–xOy/nano-TiO2; denoted as n-TEC) anode and a porous dendrite Bi cathode.
