论文摘要
提出了一种实质上将电动流势(VS)大小从〜0.02 V增加到〜1.6 V的方法。这是通过部署充满低粘度油的纹理,充满液体填充的表面(LFS)来进行电解质流动的。电解质油界面处的电荷密度以及增强的滑动可能会导致VS的增强。通过实验分析和计算模拟发现,流体滑移长度与填充油粘度成反比,并影响V。该研究提供了与复杂的电解质流量条件有关的新观点,可能与能源收集应用有关。
A methodology for substantially increasing the magnitude of the electrokinetic streaming potential (Vs) from ~ 0.02 V to as large as ~ 1.6 V is proposed. This is done through deploying textured, liquid-filled surfaces (LFS), filled with low viscosity oils, for electrolyte flow. The charge density at the electrolyte-oil interface as well as the enhanced slip may be responsible for enhancement of the Vs. It was found, through experimental analysis as well as computational simulations, that the fluid slip length was inversely proportional to the filling oil viscosity, and influences the Vs. The study provides new perspectives related to complex electrolyte flow conditions as may be relevant for energy harvesting applications.
