Membrane-based capacitive deionization (MCDI) is a novel method of desalination that promises to alleviate the stress of water shortage. Current techniques show limited efficiency in salt removal and experimental results suggest that an improvement in electrode materials could be the cornerstone of MCDI. In this study, bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (BMOFs) have been used as precursors to develop porous carbons for MCDI electrodes. BMOFs are a unique class of MOF that possess two types of metal ions with properties dependent on the ratio of the metal ions. In our work, we have synthesized a series of BMOFs with different molar […]
