We have recently demonstrated a new electrokinetic phenomenon—electroosmotic flow rectification in membranes with asymmetrically shaped pores. Flow rectification means that at constant driving force the flow rate in one direction through the membrane is faster than the flow rate in the opposite direction. EOF rectification could be of practical use in microfluidic devices incorporating porous membranes, but additional research is required. As such, we explore here the effects of two key experimental variables—current density used to drive flow through the membrane and membrane pore density—on EOF rectification. We have found that the extent of EOF rectification, as quantified by the rectification ratio, increases with increasing current density. In contrast, the rectification ratio decreases with increasing membrane pore density. We propose explanations for these results based on simple EOF and membrane-transport theories.
