摘要 |
The present invention provides an ion absorption/desorption device and a corresponding method. The ion absorption device may comprise: an electrode pair (12, 14), at least one electrode of the electrode pair (12, 14) being covered by ions-permeable gel (16a) with functional groups, the gel (16a) absorbing ions in a liquid (26a) when a voltage is applied on the electrode pair (12, 14). Covering the electrode with ions-permeable gel with functional groups may facilitate chelation of the cations and/or anions in the liquid with the functional groups in the gel, thereby, immobilizing these ions in the gel so as to improve absorption efficiency. |
