Abstract

Adsorption at charged interfaces plays an important role across all aspects of physical chemistry, from biological interactions within living organisms to chemical processes such as catalysis and separations. With recent advances in materials chemistry, there are a host of modified electrodes being investigated for electrosorption, especially in separations science. In this perspective, we provide an overview of functional interfaces being used for electrosorption, ranging from electrochemical separations such as deionization and selective product recovery to biological applications. We cover the various molecular mechanisms which can be used to enhance ion capacity, and in some cases, provide selectivity; as well as discuss the parasitic Faradaic reactions which often impair electrosorption performance. Finally, we point to the importance of electrochemical configurations, in particular the advantages of asymmetric cell design, and highlight the opportunities for selective electrosorption brought about by redox-mediated systems.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
