Noncovalent Approach toward the Construction of Nanofluidic Diodes with pH-Reversible Rectifying Properties: Insights from Theory and Experiment

In this paper, the fabrication of a biomimetic nanofluidic diode whose ionic transport characteristics can be completely modulated with the proton concentration in solution is demonstrated. The fabrication procedure involves the electrostatic assembly of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) into a t...
