Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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).

1 - 22 . (canceled) 23 . An electrochemical system, comprising: a first electrode comprising a first conductive substrate and a first redox species immobilized to the first conductive substrate; and a second electrode comprising a second conductive substrate and a second redox species immobilized to the second conductive substrate, wherein the first redox species is selective toward a target functional group of a target molecule based on a specific chemical interaction between the first redox species and the target functional group, wherein the specific chemical interaction is activated by a Faradaic/redox reaction, and wherein the first redox species and the second redox species have different charges and different chemical identities. 24 . An electrochemical system, comprising: a first electrode comprising a first conductive substrate and a redox species immobilized to the first conductive substrate; and a second electrode comprising a second conductive substrate, wherein the redox species is selective toward a target functional group of a biomolecule based on a specific chemical interaction between the redox species and the target functional group, wherein the specific chemical interaction is activated by a Faradaic/redox reaction. 25 . An electrochemical system, comprising: a first electrode comprising a first conductive substrate and a redox species immobilized to the first conductive substrate; and a second electrode comprising a second conductive substrate, wherein the redox species is selective toward a target species based on a specific chemical interaction between the redox species and the target species, wherein the specific chemical interaction is activated by a Faradaic/redox reaction, and wherein the target species comprises a transition metal and/or a heavy metal.
