Abstract
This chapter summarizes recent major breakthroughs in the construction of nitrogen-doped carbon through various strategies, then depicts the recent advances of nitrogen-doped carbon for potential capacitive deionization (CDI) use, and finally discusses the functionalities of nitrogen doping on CDI characteristic. It is worth noting that in order to fully understand the strategic evolution of nitrogen-doped carbon for promoting CDI characteristics, a detailed analysis of the effects of nitrogen doping on the resulting CDI performance is discussed. Finally, we described the remaining challenges and possible directions of using nitrogen-doped carbon for CDI, and provided some useful clues for the future development of this promising field.
