Confinement-controlled rectification in a geometric nanofluidic diode

Recent experiments with electrolytes driven through conical nanopores give evidence of strong rectified current response. In such devices, the asymmetry in the confinement is responsible for the non-Ohmic response, suggesting that the interplay of entropic and enthalpic forces plays a major role. He...

description Recent experiments with electrolytes driven through conical nanopores give evidence of strong rectified current response. In such devices, the asymmetry in the confinement is responsible for the non-Ohmic response, suggesting that the interplay of entropic and enthalpic forces plays a major role. Here, we propose a theoretical model to shed light on the physical mechanism underlying ionic current rectification. By use of an effective description of the ionic dynamics, we explore the system's response in different electrostatic regimes. We show that the rectification efficiency, as well as the channel selectivity, is driven by the surface-to-bulk conductivity ratio Dukhin length rather than the electrical double layer overlap.
