Globally, the need for clean water is increasing due to drought and water shortage. Seawater desalination is the desalination of seawater, which accounts for 70% of the earth, and is one of the methods to solve the shortage of water for the supply of drinking water and industrial water. Where fresh water is scarce, such as small islands, tap water is supplied by desalination facilities. Overseas, this work is very important especially for countries around deserts where water is scarce, such as the Middle East, or countries that depend on lakes and groundwater that collect rain without flowing rivers. In addition, in the case of countries that import water, securing stable water resources is a matter directly related to security, so desalination plants are often built even in non-desert areas. Fresh water is used not only for drinking water, but for many purposes.
In this study, in order to improve the performance of the capacitive desalination device, the performance of the electrode was mainly studied. The desalting performance was comparatively analyzed using mesoporous carbon as a CDI electrode.
