Enhanced Ion Current Rectification in 2D Graphene‐Based Nanofluidic Devices
Furthering the promise of graphene-based planar nanofluidic devices as flexible, robust, low cost, and facile large-scale alternatives to conventional nanochannels for ion transport, we show how the nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and ion current rectification in these platforms can be enhanced by increasing the system asymmetry. Asymmetric cuts made to the 2D multilayered graph...
متن کاملPoisson-Nernst-Planck model of ion current rectification through a nanofluidic diode.
We have investigated ion current rectification properties of a recently prepared bipolar nanofluidic diode. This device is based on a single conically shaped nanopore in a polymer film whose pore walls contain a sharp boundary between positively and negatively charged regions. A semiquantitative model that employs Poisson and Nernst-Planck equations predicts current-voltage curves as well as io...
متن کاملCarbohydrate-actuated nanofluidic diode: switchable current rectification in a nanopipette.
Nanofluidic structures share many properties with ligand-gated ion channels. However, actuating ion conductance in artificial systems is a challenge. We have designed a system that uses a carbohydrate-responsive polymer to modulate ion conductance in a quartz nanopipette. The cationic polymer, a poly(vinylpyridine) quaternized with benzylboronic acid groups, undergoes a transition from swollen ...
متن کاملPhoto-switchable two-dimensional nanofluidic ionic diodes.
The bottom-up assembly of ion-channel-mimetic nanofluidic devices and materials with two-dimensional (2D) nano-building blocks paves a straightforward way towards the real-world applications of the novel transport phenomena on a nano- or sub-nanoscale. One immediate challenge is to provide the 2D nanofluidic systems with adaptive responsibilities and asymmetric ion transport characteristics. He...
متن کاملGraphene-Based Planar Nanofluidic Rectifiers
Structurally symmetric two-dimensional multilayered graphene oxide films, which facilitate ion transport through “nanochannels” comprising the interstitial spaces between each stacked sheet within the film, are for the first time shown to exhibit peculiar ion current rectification and nonlinear current− voltage characteristics below a critical electrolyte concentration when the interstitial spa...
