TL;DR: In this article, a flow activated carbon (AC)/carbon black (CB) slurry is combined with ferri-/ferrocyanide redox couple to achieve high energy consumption and low salt removal rate.

TL;DR: In this article, a dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and redox-flow desalination (RFD) were integrated under light irradiation without additional electrical energy consumption to achieve a high quality freshwater level of 5-10ppm (from an initial feed of 10,000ppm), an enhanced salt removal rate (217.8 µg cm-2 min-1 of NaCl), and improved cycling and long-term stability.

TL;DR: In this article, a flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) technology can achieve continuous desalination via the electrodialysis coupling method, however, electrical energy is still highly consumed.

TL;DR: In this article, a stable and efficient photo-driven electrochemical desalination technique without any external bias is proposed, where two salt streams are sandwiched between the photoanode and cathode, and salt ions in desalted stream are continuously extracted by the redox reaction of I-/I3- electrolyte at their respective electrode chambers.
