The problem is considered theoretically of dynamics of current-induced concentration
polarization of interfaces between ideally perm-selective and non-ideally perm-selective …

Salt transport in bulk electrolytes is limited by diffusion and advection, but in microstructures
with charged surfaces (eg, microfluidic devices, porous media, soils, or biological tissues) …

A room temperature liquid metal based electroosmotic flow (EOF) pump has been proposed
in this work. This low-cost EOF pump is convenient for both fabrication and integration. It …

The principle of local thermodynamic equilibrium is systematically employed for obtaining
various transport properties of long straight nano-channels. The concept of virtual solution is …

We report on a microfluidic AC-driven electrokinetic pump that uses Induced Charge Electro-
Osmosis (ICEO) to generate on-chip pressures. ICEO flows occur when a bulk electric field …

Current methods of optimizing electroosmotic (EO) pump performance include reducing
pore diameter and reducing ionic strength of the pumped electrolyte. However, these …

It is shown theoretically that the occurrence of limiting currents at micro-/nano-interfaces
critically depends on the ratio of nano-channel height (nano-pore size) and the Debye …

We report the development and experimental analysis of a two-liquid electroosmotic (EO)
pump. The pump uses a collapsible and impermeable membrane to separate the liquid …

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a technology in which water is desalinated by ion
electrosorption into the electric double layers (EDLs) of charging porous electrodes. In …

A micropump based on strong polarization of ion-exchange beads and corresponding
actuation by electroosmosis of the second kind was designed and fabricated. Experimental …
