An unresolved challenge in nanofluidics is tuning ion selectivity and hydrodynamic transport in pores, particularly for those with diameters larger than a nanometer. In contrast to conventional strategies that focus on changing surface functionalization or confinement degree by varying the radial dimension of the pores, we explore a unique approach for manipulating ion selectivity and hydrodynamic flow enhancement by externally coating single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a few layers of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). Here, for van der Waals heterostructured BN-SWCNTs, we observed a 9-fold increase in cation selectivity for K⁺ versus Cl^– compared to pristine SWCNTs of the same 2.2 nm diameter, while hydrodynamic slip lengths decreased by more than an order of magnitude. These results suggest that the single-layer graphene inner surface may be translucent to charge-regulation and hydrodynamic-slip effects arising from h-BN on the outside of the SWCNT. Such 1D heterostructures could serve as synthetic platforms with tunable properties for exploring distinct nanofluidic phenomena and their potential applications.
