Solid-state nanopore technology for nanoparticle sensing is considered for the development of analytical tools to characterise their size, shape or zeta potential. In this field, it is crucial to understand how the nanopore inner surface influences the dynamic of nanoparticle translocation. Here, three single nanopores directly drilled in metal alloys (titanium nitride, titanium-tantalum and tantalum) are considered. The translocation of polystyrene nanoparticles coated with ssDNA is investigated by the resistive pulse method at different concentrations and voltages. The results show that the nanoparticle energy barrier for entrance into the pore decreases for nanopores that exhibits a higher surface energy and hydrophilicity, while the dwell time is found to depend on the nanopore surface state. Overall, this study demonstrates that the control of nanopore surface state must be taken into account for the resistive pulse experiments for nanoparticle detection.

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.
