Abstract
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a microscale-based device suitable for purifying fluid, and method of using the device. In particular disclosed embodiments, an electrode layer comprising an enhanced surface area electrode material that has multiple extensions covered in a conductive material are used within the device. The device comprises one or more main flow pathways and one or more side channels. The flow dynamics of the device may be controlled in order to remove contaminants from the fluid. The extensions of the enhanced surface area electrode material are positioned on the surface of the pathways and also may be positioned within the side channels.
