A predictive model for diffusiophoresis in porous media saturated with a valence asymmetric electrolyte, or a general mixture of valence symmetric and asymmetric electrolytes, is lacking. To close this knowledge gap, in this work we develop a mathematical model, based upon the regular perturbation method and numerical integration, to compute the diffusiophoretic mobility of a colloid in porous media saturated with a general mixture of electrolytes. We model the electrokinetics using the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations and the fluid transport in porous media using the Brinkman equation with an electric body force. We report three novel key findings. First, we demonstrate that, in the same electrolyte concentration gradient, lowering the permeability of the porous medium can significantly weaken the colloid diffusiophoretic motion. Second, we show that, surprisingly, by using a valence asymmetric electrolyte the colloid diffusiophoretic motion in a denser porous medium can be stronger than that in a less dense porous medium saturated with a symmetric electrolyte. Third, we demonstrate that varying the composition of an electrolyte mixture does not only change the strength of the colloid diffusiophoretic motion drastically, but also qualitatively its direction. The model developed from this work can be used to understand and predict natural phenomena such as intracellular transport, as well as design technological applications such as enhanced oil recovery, nanoparticle drug delivery, and colloidal species separation.</p>","PeriodicalId":18806,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Advances","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11836625/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143468717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For effective device integration, it is crucial to optimize growth conditions to maximize GNR length and, consequently, device yield. Equally important is establishing device integration and monitoring strategies that maintain GNR quality during the transition from growth to device fabrication. Here, we investigate the growth and alignment of 9-atom-wide armchair graphene nanoribbons (9-AGNRs) on a vicinal gold substrate, Au(788), with varying molecular precursor doses (PD) and, therefore, different resulting GNR coverages. Our investigation reveals that GNR growth location on Au(788) substrate is coverage-dependent. Scanning tunneling microscopy shows a strong correlation between GNR length evolution and both PD and GNR growth location. Employing Raman spectroscopy, samples with eight different PDs were analyzed. GNR alignment improves with length, achieving near-perfect alignment with an average length of ∼40 nm for GNRs growing solely at the Au(788) step edges. To fully exploit GNR properties in device architectures, GNRs need to be transferred from their metallic growth substrate to semiconducting or insulating substrates. Upon transfer, samples with higher PD present systematically better alignment preservation and less surface disorder, attributed to reduced GNR mobility during the transfer process. Importantly, PD also affects the substrate transfer success rate, with higher success rates observed for samples with higher GNR coverages (77%) compared to lower GNR coverages (53%). Our findings characterize the important relationship between precursor dose, GNR length, alignment quality, and surface disorder during GNR growth and upon substrate transfer, offering crucial insights for the further development of GNR-based nanoelectronic devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":18806,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Advances","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11812448/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143408721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
