Light-driven unidirectional ion transport in nanofluidic devices has application potential in desalination, ion separation, osmosis energy harvesting, and ionic machines.
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.
Mechanistic interpretation of light-driven ion transport is often inconsistent because multiple photoinduced effects can coexist and obscure the primary cause of observed signals.
The review classifies light-driven ion transport in nanofluidic devices into photochemical, photoelectric, and photothermal mechanisms.
