Ionic Transport Behavior of Soft Nanochannels for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Electrolytes

“…In the realm of investigating ion transfer behavior using EOF in nanofluidic systems, there has been a notable gap in considering ionic partitioning conditions alongside the slip effect of channel walls. A number of studies have overlooked this crucial aspect, resulting in unrealistic outcomes, especially when the surface charge density of the nanochannel is high. , To address this research gap, our study delves into the simultaneous impact of ion partitioning conditions and the sliding wall effect on ion transfer performance in soft nanochannels, aiming to pave the way for a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon.…”
