摘要:

Control of ion transport and fluid flow through nanofluidic devices is of primary importance for energy storage and conversion, drug delivery and a wide range of biological processes. Recent development of nanotechnology, synthesis techniques, purification technologies, and experiment have led to rapid advances in simulation and modeling studies on ion transport properties. In this review, the applications of Poisson-Nernst-Plank (PNP) equations in analyzing transport properties are presented. The molecular dynamics (MD) studies of transport properties of ion and fluidic flow through nanofluidic devices are reported as well.
