Claim 9:
10. The membraneless electrochemical device of claim 1, wherein the first and second electrodes are coupled to an energy source configured to drive the proton-coupled oxidation reaction with the first redox-active material and the proton-coupled reduction reaction with the second redox-active material when an electrical potential is applied across the first and second electrodes, and configured to drive a proton-coupled reduction reaction with the first redox-active material and a proton-coupled oxidation reaction with the second redox-active material when the electrical potential applied across the first and second electrodes is reversed so that the first effluent stream has the second pH, wherein the second pH is the pH value of the second effluent stream before the electrical potential applied across the first and the second electrodes is reversed, and the second effluent stream has the first pH, wherein the first pH is the pH value of the first effluent stream before the electrical potential applied across the first and the second electrodes is reversed.
