Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a technology that consists of the electrosorption of ionic species from an electrolyte which is contained between two closely spaced electrodes in the presence of an electric field. For the construction of a water desalination module or device, based on capacitive deionization, two types of electrodes were manufactured: one of activated carbon and the other of activated carbon with zinc oxide, the manufacturing process consists of forming a thin film on a graphite sheet. The most relevant characteristics of the electrodes such as their morphology, specific surface, capacitance, laminar electrical resistance, porosity, etc. are studied and analyzed with the use of different techniques, establishing a clear distinction in the properties corresponding to each type of electrode. It is added that when measuring the specific capacitance of both electrodes, the following values were obtained: 69.4 F/g and 309.9 F/g for the activated carbon and activated carbon electrodes with zinc oxide, respectively. In addition, the value of the specific surface area was 33 m2/g for the activated carbon electrode compared to 182 m2/g corresponding to the activated carbon electrode with zinc oxide. Starting from the study of the double charge layer models, the model proposed by Gouy-Chapman and Stern (GCS) is analyzed as a theoretical basis to understand the electrochemical phenomena and to interpret the results. The water desalination process was evaluated according to certain standardized parameters, the most relevant being the salt adsorption capacity (SAC), whose value is 10.2 mg/g for the desalination module containing activated carbon electrodes, configured with nine pairs of electrodes of 100 cm2 each and a film thickness of 102 µm. While the SAC for the module containing activated carbon electrodes with zinc oxide, configured with 05 electrode pairs of 49 cm2 each and film thickness of 50.8 µm was 11.2 mg/g. The specific energy consumption (SEC) of the desalination process has been evaluated only for the device grouping the activated carbon electrodes, which is carried out at 1.2 V with an initial concentration of NaCl electrolyte equal to 0.21 Molar and an inlet flow rate of salt water corresponding to 55 ml/min. This energy consumption value has been calculated at 217.8 Wh/m3 and corresponds specifically to the volume of water recovered in the desalination process.
