Wall embedded electrodes to modify electroosmotic flow in silica nanoslits
Literature Information
Harvey A. Zambrano, Nicolás Vásquez, Enrique Wagemann
Electroosmotic flow in a silica slit channel with nonuniform surface charge density is investigated. In nanoconfinement, the electrical double layer occupies a non-negligible fraction of the system. Therefore, modifying the charge density on specific locations on the channel wall surface allows effective manipulation of the electroosmotic flow rates. In the present study, extensive (160 ns) nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are conducted to investigate the ability of controlling the electroosmotic flow control in a nanoslit by patterning the surface potential. The mechanism to modify the surface charge consists of a set of charged electrodes embedded within one of the channel walls. The presence of the embedded electrodes results in the redistribution of ions in the electrolyte solution and in the alteration of the electroosmotic flow throughout the nanochannel. Indeed, the results reveal significant changes in the electroosmotic driving force and velocity profiles including local flow reversal. This study provides physical insight into the direct manipulation of the electrokinetic flow in nanoslits.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
