A dataset of the preparation of Ar-NiCoAl-LDHs@ACC and its electrochemical deionization performance

1.Data 1 is the raw and fitted XPS data of carbon cloth before and after acid treatment.The raw XPS data was measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The fitted data was obtained by fitting the raw data in XPS PEAK. The final curve plot was obtained by plotting in Origin using the XPS raw data and the fitted data.2.Data 2 is the XRD data of all samples. RAW-type files of all samples were obtained by X-ray diffraction and converted to txt format in Jade. The final graph was plotted in Origin using the data from the txt-type files.3.Data 3, Data 4, Data 19 and Data 20 are the BET data of the samples, which were obtained directly from the Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) model and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method on the adsorption instrument (Micromeritics ASAP 2460). The final graphs were obtained by Origin.4.Data 5-data 8 and data 10 are the data of the CV as well as GCD curves of the samples, which were obtained by testing the samples in a three-electrode system through an electrochemical workstation. The final graphs were plotted by Origin.5.Data 9 is the specific capacitance data for all samples. The specific capacitance data was obtained from the GCD curves of each sample and calculated by the formula C=(I*t)/(m*∆V). The final graph was plotted by Origin.6.Data 11 and Data 21 are conductivity transient curves of the samples, which were obtained by testing the CDI system in batch-mode. The final curve plots were obtained by Origin.7.Data 14 is the current transient curve of the sample, which was obtained by testing the CDI system in batch-mode. The final curve plot was obtained by Origin.7.Data 12, Data 13, Data 22 and Data 23 are the data for the desalination capacity and desalination rate of the samples. The desalination capacity was calculated from the conductivity transient curve of and the formula SAC=(C0-Ct)*V/m. The desalination rate was obtained from the conductivity transient curve and calculated by the equation ASAR=SAC/t. The final graphs were plotted by Origin.9.Data 15 and data 16 are the data of the charge efficiency as well as the energy consumption of the samples. The charge efficiency was obtained from the current transient curve and calculated by the formula Λ=(SAC*F*m)/(M*∫idt). The energy consumption was calculated from the equation Econ=(M*U*∫idt)/(SAC×m). The final graphs were plotted by Origin.10.Data 17 is the data of desalination capacity and desalination rate of different materials, which was calculated from the conductivity transient as well as current transient curves of the samples and by using the equations SAC=(C0-Ct)*V/m and ASAR=SAC/t. The final graphs were plotted by Origin.11.Data 18 is the data for the conductivity transient of the sample over 100 cycles, as well as the desalination capacity and desalination rate of the sample during cycling. The data for the conductivity transient was obtained by testing with the CDI desalination test system in batch-mode. The desalination capacity was calculated from the conductivity transient curve of the sample and the formula SAC=(C0-Ct)*V/m. The desalination rate was obtained from the conductivity transient curve of the sample and calculated by the formula ASAR=SAC/t. The final graph was plotted by Origin.12.Data 24-35 are the SEM images and elemental distributions of all samples presented in JPG format, which were obtained by scanning electron microscopy with an EDS spectrometer.13.Data 36-39 are pictures of the contact angle of all the samples with the JPG format, which were obtained by the contact angle analyzer.14.Data 40 is the HRTEM image of the sample, obtained by transmission electron microscopy and is in JPG format.15.Data 41 is a flowchart of the experiment (JPG format), which was drawn via C4D.16.Data 42 is a diagram (JPG format) of the CDI test system as well as the desalination mechanism, which was drawn via Power Point.
