Title: Non-scaling behavior of electroosmotic flow in voltage-gated nanopores

Abstract

Ionic size effects and electrostatic correlations result in the non-monotonic dependence of the electrical conductivity on the pore size. For ion transport at a high gating voltage, the conductivity oscillates with the pore size due to a significant overlap of the electric double layers.

Non-scaling behavior of electroosmotic flow in voltage-gated nanopores

Journal Article Lian, Cheng ; Gallegos, Alejandro ; Liu, Honglai ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP (Print)

Ionic transport through nanopores is of fundamental importance for the design and development of nanofiltration membranes and novel electrochemical devices including supercapacitors, fuel cells and batteries. Recent experiments have shown an unusual variation of electrical conductance with the pore size and the electrolyte parameters that defies conventional scaling relations. Here ionic transport through voltage-gated nanopores was studied by using the classical density functional theory for ion distributions in combination with the Navier–Stokes equation for the electroosmotic flow. We also identified a significant influence of the gating potential on the scaling behavior of the conductance with changes in the pore sizemore »« less

Oscillation of Capacitance inside Nanopores

Journal Article Jiang, De-en ; Jin, Zhehui ; Wu, Jianzhong - Nano Letters

Porous carbons of high surface area are promising as cost-effective electrode materials for supercapacitors. Although great attention has been given to the anomalous increase of the capacitance as the pore size approaches the ionic dimensions, there remains a lack of full comprehension of the size dependence of the capacitance in nanopores. Here we predict from a classical density functional theory that the capacitance of an ionic-liquid electrolyte inside a nanopore oscillates with a decaying envelope as the pore size increases. The oscillatory behavior can be attributed to the interference of the overlapping electric double layers (EDLs); namely, the maxima inmore »« less

Current rectification for transport of room-temperature ionic liquids through conical nanopores

Journal Article Jiang, Xikai ; Liu, Ying ; Qiao, Rui - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Here, we studied the transport of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) through charged conical nanopores using a Landau-Ginzburg-type continuum model that takes steric effect and strong ion-ion correlations into account. When the surface charge is uniform on the pore wall, weak current rectification is observed. When the charge density near the pore base is removed, the ionic current is greatly suppressed under negative bias voltage while nearly unchanged under positive bias voltage, thereby leading to enhanced current rectification. These predictions agree qualitatively with prior experimental observations, and we elucidated them by analyzing the different components of the ionic current and themore »« less

Electrokinetic Ion Transport through Unsaturated Soil: 1) Theory, Model Development, and Testing 2) Application to a Heterogeneous Field Site

Journal Article Mattson, Earl Douglas ; Bowman, R. S. ; Lindgren, E. R. - Journal of Contaminate Hydrology

An electromigration transport model for non-reactive ion transport in unsaturated soil was developed and tested against laboratory experiments. This model assumed the electric potential field was constant with respect to time, an assumption valid for highly buffered soil, or when the electrode electrolysis reactions are neutralized. The model also assumed constant moisture contents and temperature with respect to time, and that electroosmotic and hydraulic transport of water through the soil was negligible. A functional relationship between ionic mobility and the electrolyte concentration was estimated using the chemical activity coefficient. Tortuosity was calculated from a mathematical relationship fitted to the electricalmore »« less

Lithium ion intercalation in thin crystals of hexagonal TaSe ₂ gated by a polymer electrolyte

Journal Article Wu, Yueshen ; Lian, Hailong ; He, Jiaming ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Ionic liquid gating has been used to modify the properties of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), including two-dimensional (2D) crystals of TMDCs used extensively recently in the device work, which has led to observations of properties not seen in the bulk. The main effect comes from the electrostatic gating due to the strong electric field at the interface. In addition, ionic liquid gating also leads to ion intercalation when the ion size of the gate electrolyte is small compared to the interlayer spacing of TMDCs. However, the microscopic processes of ion intercalation have rarely been explored in layered TMDCs. Here,more »« less
