Abstract

3

Here we investigate the competitive electrosorption of mono- and divalent phos-

4

phate anions through electrochemical desalination and dilatometry based experiments.

5

Through in situ dilatometry, we monitor the strain at the electrode surface as anions

6

and cations are electrosorbed. Strain measurements show that the presence of diva-

7

lent ions promote a greater than anticipated electrode expansion during cation (Na+ )

8

electrosorption. The expansion observed with Na+ equaled the expansion observed

9

2− + with the HPO2− 4 . Since the ionic radius of Na is smaller than HPO4 , the symmet-

10

ric expansion suggests that divalent anions do not completely desorb during electrode

11

regeneration, causing the adverse interactions with the cation during co-ion expulsion.

12

This results in a decrease in desalination performance, indicated by decreased salt ad-

13

sorption capacity. Conversely, an expected asymmetric expansion during anion and

14

cation electrosorption occurs with monovalent phosphate anions (H2 PO− 4 ) indicating

15

that monovalent ions are capable of being effectively replaced by the cation at the

16

electrode surface.

Introduction

18

Ion separation processes are critical for many industrial, municipal, and environmental ap-

19

plications. 1 Separation processes require the use of physical (membranes), or mass-transfer

20

based operations (distillation, absorption, and adsorption). 2 Mass transport operations have

21

a high-energy demand and typically require chemical based regeneration. Whereas physi-

22

cal operations are low energy, but foul and are not intrinsically selective. Electrochemical

23

driven separations (capacitive deionization, electrochemically modulated liquid chromatog-

24

raphy, battery deionization) have demonstrated new avenues for achieving low energy ion

25

removal and are electrochemically regenerated without the need for chemicals. 3 Furthermore,

26

these approaches are beginning to achieve selectivity through the use of electrochemical

27

redox-responsive receptors. 4,5

28

Gaining molecular level insight into water|electrode interfaces is an important next step

29

needed to answer questions related to the energetics and selectivity of electrosorption. 5–7

30

Fundamental knowledge is needed regarding both the static and dynamic nature of the elec-

31

tric double layer (EDL) and interface during separation. This is critical for understanding

32

the rate limiting mechanism associated with electrosorption (adsorption and desorption)

33

in environmentally relevant conditions. While in simple systems with model constituents

34

(monovalent salts), adsorption and desorption occur at equal rates (symmetric), in systems

35

with more complex constituents (salts with varying degrees of valence and hydration), com-

36

petitive adsorption between species can alter the salt removal process. 8 One of the most 2

37

common constituents which this applies to is phosphate anions, which are well known to ex-

38

2− ist in a monovalent (H2 PO− ) state depending on the pH of the feed 4 ) and divalent (HPO4

39

source. 9–12 Owing to the potential environmental and economic considerations associated

40

with phosphorus recovery from waste streams, developing ways to recover and concentrate

41

phosphate anions is growing in importance 13–15

42

Here, we investigate the dynamics of phosphate anion electrosorption processes using elec-

43

trochemical dilatometry, 16,17 desalination testing, 18,19 and through a theoretical analysis. 20

44

Dilatometry experiments probe the phosphate anion interactions at the electrified interface

45

through measuring changes in the electrode strain during cyclic voltammetry experiments.

46

Strain measurements are also correlated with desalination and electrochemical based char-

47

acterization. The results discussed here show increased strain in electrodes with divalent

48

phosphate anions (HPO2− 4 ) during co-ion expulsion (negative polarization). Strain is associ-

49

ated with an ions inability to adsorb to the electrode surface or transport through nonporous

50

regions. In contrast, this mechanical strain is not observed for monovalent phosphate anions

51

(H2 PO− 4 ). Ineffective desorption of bulky anions may be a contributing factor leading to

52

lower desalination performance and salt adsorption capacity. These interactions may also

53

promote a degree of selectivity associated with larger ionic radii and charged species. Prior

54

results in batch desalination have suggested that divalent phosphate anions may accumulate

55

more readily at the surface because of the energetic advantage associated with screening

56

the surface charge. 21 This work presents an additional explanation related to the unfavor-

57

able chemo-mechanics associated with the co-ion expulsion of divalent phosphate anions.

58

Increased strain is observed in the electrode during divalent desorption processes and may

59

contribute to observed selectivity of divalent phosphate anions over mono-valent species.

60

Understanding and measuring competitive electrosorption-based processes is imperative for

61

separation of complex waste streams.

Materials and Methods

63

Preparation of the electrode

64

The activated carbon electrode was prepared by dispersing YP-50F activated carbon (Sanwa

65

Components International Inc), carbon black (Sigma-Aldrich) and polytetrafluoroethylene

66

(60% weight dispersion, Sigma-Aldrich) in the ratio 90:5:5 by weight in ethanol (Fisher

67

Scientific). The mixture was stirred constantly and dried on a hot plate stirrer (Fisher-

68

Scientific), until a desired consistency was produced. After the mixture was dried the carbon

69

slurry was rolled onto a graphite sheet (Alfa-Aesar) using a roller to a thickness of 0.4 mm.

70

Two electrodes with diameters of 10mm were cut out and used for the tests as working and

71

counter electrode. The weight of the electrode was 20 ± 2 mg.

72

Electrochemical Dilatometry

73

An ECD-nano-DL Dilatometer from EL-Cell (Germany) was used with gold current collec-

74

tors was used for in-situ electrosorption experiments. Three-electrode electrochemical and

75

dilatometric measurements were performed at 22±1◦ C with a Biologic VSP-300 potentiostat.

76

The electrochemical cell contained a over-sized counter electrode with a mass at least 20×

77

the mass of the working electrode. The vertical deformation during anodic and cathodic

78

scans was measured with an accuracy of approximately 15 nm and was normalized to the

79

electrode thickness at the point of zero strain.

80

Desalination testing

81

The desalination system was comprised of a flow cell with a projected area Acell = 25 cm2 .

82

The feed chamber consisted of a polycarbonate flow channel with a thickness of 0.47 cm.

83

Electrodes were placed on graphite sheets which were placed on gold-plated copper current

84

collectors. The feed flows vertically through the center of the cell. A cation (CEM) and

85

anion exchange membrane (AEM) separated the feed from electrode (Selemion AMV/CMV, 4

87

Results and Discussion

88

The degree of desalination from a capacitive deionization cell was conducted in both con-

89

tinuous (Figure 1a) and batch-mode (Figure S2) based experiments. In both series of ex-

90

periments, phosphate aqueous solutions with a lower pH (pH ≈4) resulted in a faster rate

91

of salt removal and total salt removed (∆C/C0 ) for each cycle. For the continuous mode

92

desalination based testing the energy consumption for the pH 4 electrolyte was 0.03 kWh

93

per mol, whereas the pH 9 phosphate electrolyte resulted in an increase in energy consump-

94

tion to 0.09 kWh per mol. Due to the pKa of the solution, in testing conducted in pH 4

95

electrolytes, H2 PO4 − was the dominant anion. In addition, in testing in pH 9 electrolytes

96

the dominant anion was HPO4 2− . The increase in energy consumption ascribed to the pres-

97

ence of divalent ions also resulted in a decrease in the energy normalized per adsorbed salt

98

(ENAS) from 8.3 mol per joule (pH=4) to 3.2 mol per joule (pH=9). Note that the ENAS

99

values for the phosphate anions is 2-4 times less than ENAS values reported with sodium

100

chloride. 22 This is due to an increase in the ionic radius of the phosphate anion (≥ 0.302 nm

101

hydrated ionic radius) compared to chloride ( 0.195 nm hydrated ionic radius). Due to the

102

size of the desalination systems, batch mode experiments provided further insight into the

103

potential for anion removal. Here, the energy consumption (kWh/mol) again was 2x greater

104

for pH=9 solutions (divalent anions) compared with pH=4 (mono-valent). In all tests an

105

increase in current was observed with the pH=9 solution, which was attributed to the higher

106

conductivity (Figure S1 and S2).

107

The experiments are consistent with Gouy-Chapman-Stern theory, which predicts salt

108

removal dynamics within an electric double layer (Figure 1b). 20,23 In aqueous solutions, the

109

electric double layer (EDL) is comprised of the Stern layer which has oppositely charged

110

counter-ions attracted to the surface and a diffuse layer which has a mix of counter-ions and

5

111

co-ions. The length at which the diffuse layer disperses into the medium, otherwise known

112

as the Debye length λD , varies inversely with the electron valance, resulting in less disperse

113

EDLs when di- or tri-valent ions are present. The Debye length is important to determine

114

the electric potential of the double layer and is incorporated into a transient model. Through

115

the introduction of valance into the model, the result predicts a decrease in salt removal with

116

an increase in valance (Figure 1b). (a )

During the dilatometry experiment, the whole cells voltage was varied through performing

118

cyclic voltammograms (CV). The associated relative height change experienced by the cell,

119

ranged from 0 to nearly 1% depending whether the anion or cation was being electrosorbed

120

into the carbon film (Figure 2a-b). Each cyclic voltammogram demonstrates a pseudo-

121

rectangular shape at 2 mV/s (slow scan rate) which is typical of electric double layer electrode 6

systems. The specific capacitance for the pH 4 and pH 9 electrolytes in a three electrode

123

configuration are 38 and 40 F/g (Figure S3). The low capacitance is attributed to the

124

transport limitations associated with phosphate anions in the micropores. Evidence of high

125

tortuosity can be observed at the potential boundaries of the cyclic voltammagrams. In a

126

highly accessible electrode the current is independent of voltage (vertical line) at the voltage

127

boundaries. 19,20,24 However, in these electrolytes there is a slight voltage dependence on the

128

current density at the voltage limits. Subsequently, as the potential swings into the positive

129

region a large expansion is observed in both the pH 4 and pH 9 electrolytes systems. The

130

large expansion is associated with the bulky anion (monovalent and divalent phosphate)

131

adsorption. The electrode expansion or strain is reversible for each successive cycle. Large 7

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

132

expansions are observed while positively polarizing the electrode in the acidic electrolyte with

133

a monovalent phosphate anion (H2 PO− 4 ) and less expansion is observed when the electrode

134

is polarized in the negative region. The anisometric charge dependent swelling of the porous

135

carbon is well documented for non-aqueous and ionic liquid electrolytes characterized by

136

bulky cations. 25

137

The assymmetric expansion behavior indicates that the carbon experiences more strain

138

during phosphate electroadsorption processes than Na+ (Figure 2c). In contrast, the expan-

139

sion process is more symmetric between positive and negative polarization swings for the

140

basic electrolyte which contains divalent phosphate anions (HPO2− 4 ) (Figure 2d). This result

141

is counterintuitive because both electrolyte systems have the same cation which suggests

142

that there is some interaction between the divalent phosphate anion (HPO2− 4 ) and cation

143

during negative polarization. When the electrode switches from positive to negative polar-

144

ization regimes the anion is expelled from the surface and replaced with a cation. During

145

this switch, co-ion expulsion dynamics can play a role in the electric double layer structure

146

and impact the efficiency of the electroadsorption processes. Furthermore, this interaction

147

may be amplified for the divalent phosphate anion, because two sodium ions are required to

148

maintain charge neutrality at the surface during the potential reversal. Thus, the symmetric

149

expansion observed in the basic electrolyte may occur because of a complex desorption mech-

150

anisms associated with the dual charged phosphate anion. The electrode expansion process

151

decreases with scan rate (Figure 2c-d) for both electrolytes (mono- and divalent anions). The

152

decrease in electrode expansion is a signal that ions are not reaching adsorption equilibrium

153

because of transport limitations in the microporous region of the electrode.

154

The dissimilar strain or expansion properties between the mono-valent and di-valent phos-

155

phate anions is more obvious when multiple cycles are presented with respect to normalized

156

time (Figure 3a-b). The asymmetric expansion profile for the mono-valent phosphate anion

157

is readily apparent at 2 mV/s through the presence of a repeating units of small and large

158

peaks. However, little to no expansion is observed at scan rates above 10 mV/s (small peaks

are completely suppressed). This is not surprising, as at higher scan rates, ionic access to

160

the interface is limited. In contrast, significant expansion occurs in the electrolyte with the

161

divalent phosphate anion at scan rates above 20 mV/s. The symmetry in expansion does

162

decrease with increasing scan rate (divalent phosphate anion), but is still readily apparent

163

indicating that the co-ion expulsion mechanism is not dependent on the kinetics of the charg-

164

ing process. Insight into the chemo-mechanics of these complex anions provides a potential

165

explanation for recent experimental results by Huang et al., which demonstrated preferential

166

2− − 9 electroadsorption selectivity of Cl− over H2 PO− 4 and HPO4 over Cl . Prior results have

167

suggested that there is a preferential adsorption and accumulation of divalent phosphate

168

anions in the double layers because there is an energetic advantage of screening the surface

169

charge with a negative two charge anion. 21 Our work extends this finding by demonstrat-

170

ing that there is also chemo-mechanical considerations at play during the co-ion expulsion

171

processes of divalent phosphate anions that do not exist for mono-valent phosphate anions.

172

Molecular insight into fundamental interactions that occur at relevant solid|water in-

engineering next generation materials. Electric field and electrochemical systems are being

175

increasingly investigated in water technologies as a means to mitigate degradation (fouling),

176

inform system performance (sensors), and to improve selectivity. This work investigates the

177

fundamental nature of electroadsorption processes for relevant water contaminants and pro-

178

vides insight into the origin of decreased ion separation properties for dual charged phosphate

179

anions in comparison to single charged phosphate anions. Designing materials that can ex-

180

ploit these mechanisms may provide a means for engineering future systems with selectivity.

181

Here we highlight the complexity associated with field-assisted separations in water applica-

182

tions where species of varying degrees of hydration and valance are present. Furthermore, we

183

highlight how competitive electrosorption can be captured in various dynamic environments
