Applied Electric Field Effects on Diffusivity and Electrical Double-Layer Thickness (Small 46/2024)

Abstract

Nanoconfined Aqueous Electrolytes

This computational simulation and continuum framework-based study reveals insights into electroosmotic flow (EOF) in nanoconfined electrolytes. The research establishes a linear relationship between electric field strength and fluid velocity, uncovering two distinct transport regimes. These findings enhance the molecular understanding of EOF, with significant implications for advancing nanofluidic technologies, including applications in drug delivery systems and lab-on-a-chip devices.
