Bridging the gap between an isolated nanochannel and a communicating multipore heterogeneous membrane

摘要: To bridge the gap between single and isolated pore systems to multipore systems, such as membranes electrodes, we studied an array of nanochannels with varying interchannel spacing that controlled degree channel communication. Instead treating them individual channels connected in parallel or assembly like a homogeneous membrane, this study resolves pore-pore interaction. We found increased isolation leads current intensification, whereas at high voltages electroconvective effects control communication via suppression diffusion layer growth.
