Microscale Ionic Diodes: An Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ionic rectifier membranes or devices generate uni-directional ion transport to convert an alternating current (AC) input into stored energy direct (DC) in the form of ion/salt gradients. Electrochemical experiments 80 years ago were conducted on biological membrane systems, but today a plethora artificial ionic types has been developed and electroanalytical tools are employed explore mechanisms performance. This overview focuses microscale rectifiers with comparison nano- macroscale rectifiers. The potential is surveyed for applications electrochemical analysis, desalination, harvesting, synthesis, selective extraction.

Photo-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 کاملField-effect reconfigurable nanofluidic ionic diodes.
Several types of nanofluidic devices based on nanopores and nanochannels have been reported to yield ionic current rectification, with the aim to control the delivery of chemical species in integrated systems. However, the rectifying properties obtained by existing approaches cannot be altered once the devices are made. It would be desirable to have the ability to modulate the predefined proper...

Solid electrolytes are an unusual group of materials which have high ionic conductivity with negligible electronic conductivity. Examples are now known involving high conductivity of most monovalent and some divalent ions, e.g. Ag+ in RbAg415, Na' in /?-alumina, Li' in H-doped Li,N, 02in 9Zr0, * 1 Y 203 (yttria-stabilised zirconia), Fin PbSnF4 and H + in H U 0 2 P 0 4 * 4 H 2 0 (hydrogen uranyl...
متن کاملHigh-flux ionic diodes, ionic transistors and ionic amplifiers based on external ion concentration polarization by an ion exchange membrane: a new scalable ionic circuit platform.
A microfluidic ion exchange membrane hybrid chip is fabricated using polymer-based, lithography-free methods to achieve ionic diode, transistor and amplifier functionalities with the same four-terminal design. The high ionic flux (>100 μA) feature of the chip can enable a scalable integrated ionic circuit platform for micro-total-analytical systems.
متن کاملAn Overview of Candiduria
Candida microorganisms frequently exist as saprophytes on the external genitalia or urethra, however, yeast in measurable quantities are found in <1% of clean voided urine specimens. The overall frequency of Candida infections in hospitals has increased by 200% to 300% in the last decade, such that in a general hospital 5% of urine cultures may yield Candida species, and in tertiary-care center...
