Slippery and mobile hydrophobic electrokinetics: From single walls to nanochannels

We discuss how the wettability of solid walls impacts electrokinetic phenomena, from large systems down to a nanoscale. show in particular could hydrophobic slippage, coupled confinement effects, be exploited induce novel properties, such as salt-dependent giant amplification zeta potential and conductivity, much more efficient energy conversion. However, impact slippage is dramatically reduced if adsorbed surface charges would migrate along wall under an applied field.
