Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adfm201470163-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a competent water desalination technique offering an appropriate route to obtain clean water. On page 3917, Y.‐M. Yan, K.‐N. Sun and co‐workers design and prepare a 3D‐structured, graphene‐based electrode using sponge (polyurethane, PU) as a template. The electrode possesses a large surface area, wide pore size distribution from nanopores to micropores, and low internal resistance, therefore exhibiting a remarkable electrosorptive capacity of 4.95 mg g⁻¹ and a desorption rate of 25 min. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghmrrg6s1" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
