    I doubt you could use an RO-like process for that. Aside from the filters needing servicing, you don’t really have closed loop RO. You’d have to plumb your appliance.

    My reading of this write-up is that they can push the ions in with an electric charge and they’ll leave the solution when the charge is removed. The paper says they are able to trigger melting and recrystallization.

      After re-reading the article: you’re right, they did mention an electric current.
