A controllable ion transport including ion selectivity and ion rectification across nanochannels or porous membranes is of great importance because of potential applications ranging from biosensing to energy conversion.Here, a nanofluidic ion diode was realized by modifying carbon infinitytools.com nitride nanotubes with different molecules yielding an asymmetric surface charge that allows for ion rectification.With the advantages of low-cost, thermal and mechanical robustness, and simple fabrication process, carbon nitride nanotubes with ion rectification have the potential short knee length kurtis to be used in salinity-gradient energy conversion and ion sensor systems.
