Abstract:Artificial nanofluidic channels that achieve light-driven
ion transport
in biological systems based on photoelectric effect have attracted
significant attention for signal transduction and light energy conversion.
However, the light-responsive performance is limited by the charge
separation efficiency on the surface of the channels. Herein, we introduce
semiconductor p–n junctions into nanofluidic channels to enhance
their light-driven ion transport. The p–n junction is formed
by an n-type titanium dioxide (Ti… Show more
