Capacitive deionization (CDI) is emerging as an environment-friendly and energy-efficient water desalination option for meeting the growing global demand for drinking water. It is important to develop models that can predict and optimize the performance of CDI systems with respect to key operational parameters in a simple way. Such models could open up modeling studies to a wider audience by making modeling more accessible to researchers. We have developed the dynamic Langmuir model that can describe CDI in terms of a few fundamental macroscopic properties. Through extensive comparisons with data from the literature, it is shown that the model could describe and predict charge storage, ion adsorption, and charge efficiency for varying input ion concentrations, applied voltages, electrolyte compositions, electrode asymmetries, and electrode precharges in the equilibrium state. We conclude that the model could accurately describe a wide range of key features while being a simpler approach than the commonly applied theories for modeling CDI.
