External Control of Ion Transport in Nanoporous Membranes with Surfaces Modified with Self-Assembled Monolayers

Abstract: We investigated the effect of external pH, ionic strength, and applied voltage to control the transport of ions through porous PCTE/Au/acid thiol membranes with pore radii of 4.0-5.9 nm. Electroless gold was deposited on the inside surfaces of the nanopores of the membrane. The thiols 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (HSC10H20COOH) and 3-mercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid (HSC3H6SO3H) were used to form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on the gold surfaces of the pores. The ionic permeant through the pores of the membra… Show more

“…Polymeric nanoporous membranes are excellent templates for growing multiscale nanostructures inside nanopores. Nanoporous membranes can be used for molecular separations [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], biosensing [11] and catalytic applications [12]. Moreover, PCTE membranes can be assembled with microfluidic devices as molecular gates [13,14].…”

“…This shows the importance of pore size/geometry in order to make use of the electrostatic sieving effect for separation of proteins with similar molecular weights illustrates that the electrostatic interactions between proteins and pore walls are important factors in protein transport across porous membranes and that these interactions are complex. Previously, Gold nanotubule membranes have attracted attention because they can be used to control ion transport selectivity by external means, for example by changing the pH and ionic strength and applying electrical potentials [119][120][121].…”

“…[49][50][51] Applying electric potentials directly to membranes is another approach that has been demonstrated to improve the transport rate and selectivity by allowing an external control over the charges. [52][53][54] Moreover, silicon and silicon nitride surfaces can be functionalized directly by covalently attaching organic monolayers using various methods including heating, UV irradiation, and Grignard reactions.…”
