Measured (symbols) and simulated (line) CAPMIX cycle in the cell voltage-exchanged charge per gram of electrode space. Latin numbers refer to the four different steps of a CAPMIX cycle, as numbered in the main text. The exchanged charge is the integral of the current (Iext) through the external load in the charge and discharge steps, its zero value corresponding to the initial state. Characteristics of prototype cell: two parallel plate, Norit S30 carbon (BET area: 1650 m2/g) electrodes; geometric area of electrodes A = 1.5 × 1.5 cm2; electrode nominal thickness Le = 100 μm; distance between electrodes δ = 1 mm; external loads Rext,fresh = 25Ω and Rext,saline = 5Ω. D = DmA = DNaCl. Free parameters of the simulation: CSt,vol = 0.06GF/m3; pmi = 0.3; pmA = 0.4; Le = 85 μm.
