Abstract
An electrochemical device for removing or reducing a target ionic species from an aqueous solution using faradic immobilization includes a first electrode and a second electrode with different void fraction and surface area properties. During operation, due to differences in void fraction (also referred to as void ratio) of the first and the second electrode, water flows through an electrode with a high porosity, while the aqueous solution does not flow through an electrode with a low porosity. Accordingly, the asymmetry of the electrodes provides a desired voltage distribution across the device, which equates to a different voltage at each electrode, to control the speciation of the target ionic species at the anode and the cathode.
