Linked Claims

Claim 1application potentialsupports2021Source 1DOI

Light-driven unidirectional ion transport in nanofluidic devices has application potential in desalination, ion separation, osmosis energy harvesting, and ionic machines.

Claim 2definitionsupports2021Source 1DOI

Light-driven ion transport in nanofluidic devices is unidirectional ion movement powered by optical energy and can proceed either against or along a concentration gradient.

Claim 3field challengesupports2021Source 1DOI

Mechanistic interpretation of light-driven ion transport is often inconsistent because multiple photoinduced effects can coexist and obscure the primary cause of observed signals.

Claim 4mechanism classificationsupports2021Source 1DOI

The review classifies light-driven ion transport in nanofluidic devices into photochemical, photoelectric, and photothermal mechanisms.
