Ion Current Rectification and Rectification Inversion in Conical Nanopores: A Perm-selective View Electronic Supplementary Information
proving the validity of the present numerical approach. The results were also compared to the FEM simulations made by White et al. The ion current rectification in the pore of 10 μm length and half-cone angle of 12°, filled with 1 mM KCl solution was simulated. In this case the rectification ratio r(E) 35 is 1.39, while White et al report 1.38. The tiny difference in the obtained result is prob...
متن کاملIon current rectification and rectification inversion in conical nanopores: a perm-selective view.
Ionic transport in charged conical nanopores is known to give rise to ion current rectification. The present study shows that the rectification direction can be inverted when using electrolyte solutions at very low ionic strengths. To elucidate these phenomena, electroneutral conical nanopores containing a perm-selective region at the tip have been investigated and shown to behave like classica...
متن کاملRectification Through Entropic Barriers
The dynamics of Brownian motion has widespread applications extending from transport in designed micro-channels up to its prominent role for inducing transport in molecular motors and Brownian motors. Here, Brownian transport is studied in micro-sized, two dimensional periodic channels, exhibiting periodically varying cross sections. The particles in addition are subjected to a constant externa...
متن کاملScan-rate-dependent ion current rectification and rectification inversion in charged conical nanopores.
Herein we report a theoretical study of diode-like behavior of negatively charged (e.g., glass or silica) nanopores at different potential scan rates (1-1000 V·s(-1)). Finite element simulations were used to determine current-voltage characteristics of conical nanopores at various electrolyte concentrations. This study demonstrates that significant changes in rectification behavior can be obser...
متن کاملInvestigation of Laminar Pulsating Nanofluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Rectangular Channel
In this study, two-dimensional pulsating unsteady flow of nanofluid through a rectangular channel with isothermal walls is investigated numerically. The set of resultant algebraic equations is solved simultaneously using SIMPLE algorithm to obtain the velocity and pressure distribution within the channel. The effects of several parameters, such as volume fraction of different nanoparticles, Rey...
