1-27. (canceled)
A charged sorbent material, comprising
- a charged porous electrically conducting material;
- and
- charged particles within the porous electrically conducting material;
- wherein the porous electrically conducting material comprises one or more of a carbon material, a metal organic framework (MOF), a covalent organic framework (COF), one or more organic or inorganic binders, or a conducting polymer.
A method of making a charged sorbent material, comprising contacting an uncharged porous electrically conducting material with an electrolyte solution;
- electrically connecting the uncharged porous electrically conducting material to an electrode;
- and applying an electric potential across the uncharged porous electrically conducting material and the electrode to form a charged porous electrically conducting material.
