  • Patent number: 11945737
    Abstract: Various aspects described herein relate to electrochemical devices, e.g., for separation of one or more target organic or inorganic molecules (e.g., charged or neutral molecules) from solution, and methods of using the same. In particular embodiments, the electrochemical devices and methods described herein involve at least one redox-functionalized electrode, wherein the electrode comprises an immobilized redox-species that is selective toward a target molecule (e.g., charged molecule such as ion or netural molecule). The selectivity is based on a Faradaic/redox-activated chemical interaction (e.g., directional hydrogen binding) between the oxidized state of the redox species and a moiety of the target molecule (e.g., charged molecule such as ion or netural molecule).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2024
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Xiao Su, Demetra S. Achilleos, Trevor Alan Hatton
