Slip divergence of water flow in graphene nanochannels: the role of chirality

Graphene has attracted considerable attention due to its characteristics as a 2D material and its fascinating properties, providing a potential building block for nanofabrication. In nanochannels the solid–liquid interface plays a non-negligible role in determining the fluid dynamics. Therefore, for an optimal design of nanofluidic devices, a comprehensive understanding of the slippage in a water flow confined between graphene walls is important. In nanoconfinement, experimental and computational studies have found the slip length to increase nonlinearly when the shear rate is larger than a critical value. Here, by conducting molecular dynamics simulations, we study the influence of the graphene crystallographic orientation on the slip boundary conditions inside a nanoslit channel. The flow in channels with heights of 2.0, 2.4 and 2.8 nm is driven parallel to the zig-zag and arm-chair crystallographic directions. We extract flow rates, velocity profiles, slip velocities and slip lengths. The slip velocity displays a linear relationship to the shear stress up to a critical value, which is not size dependent. Moreover, the slip length is found to be shear stress dependent above a critical shear stress value of 0.4 MPa. Furthermore, our results indicate that after this critical shear stress is reached, the flow rates are significantly influenced (up to 10%) by the particular orientation of the graphene topology.

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.
