Separation
factor βi:j calculated
using eq 7 in MCDI, CDI
with porous carbons, and CDI with intercalation
or conversion electrodes for pairs of competing anions and cations.
βi:j > 1 implies
selectivity toward ion i, βi:j < 1 implies selectivity toward ion j, and βi:j = 1 (dashed line) corresponds to no selectivity. Competing
monovalent ions (ion valence 1:1) typically display βi:j between 1 and 10. Competing divalent
and monovalent ions (ion valence 2:1) display a wider range of βi:j, typically between 0.01
and 24. References for valence 1:1 ion pairs in alphabetical order:
