摘要

Abstract

Developing selective electrodes for lithium extraction from brines remains challenging. This work reports room-temperature synthesized cubic copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) nanoparticles for hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI). The CuHCF framework exhibits a high surface area (715.84 m

and excellent cyclability (99.4% capacity retention after 1000 cycles). In HCDI system
