Suppression of ion conductance by electro-osmotic flow in nano-channels with weakly overlapping electrical double layers

This theoretical study investigates the nonlinear ionic current-voltage characteristics of nano-channels that have weakly overlapping electrical double layers. Numerical simulations as well as a 1-D mathematical model are developed to reveal that the electro-osmotic flow (EOF) interplays with the co...
