Capacitive deionization (CDI) is one of the promising desalination processes. It consumes relatively small energy for operation compared with other competing processes such as reverse osmosis. Additionally, it does not produce any secondary wastes for a re-use. Comparing to the conventional CDI, membrane-CDI (MCDI) which uses porous carbon electrodes together with ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) has gained great interests due to the higher ion selectivity and removal efficiency. In this work, we have developed a pore-filled IEMs (PFIEMs) for the applications to cost and energy efficient CDI processes. As a result, they were shown to possess excellent electrochemical and mechanical properties. Their electrochemical characteristics have also been optimized for the successful applications to MCDI processes. (NRF-2015H1C1A1034436)(MOTIE-No. 10047796)
