Bridging the Gap between an Isolated Nanochannel/pore System and Communicating Multipore Heterogeneous Membrane System

Abstract

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