Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we propose a novel method of confining ions in micro- and nanogaps in electrolyte solutions and generating a liquid whose electroneutrality is broken by making either positive or negative charge become dominant. The existence of such a special condition is examined from both theoretical and experimental approaches. It is generally known that the electroneutrality is satisfied as an equilibrium condition in the liquid, but by providing a difference in the diffusion coefficients of cation and anion, by placing an ion-selective interface between solutions with different concentrations to change the permeability of ions. The break in electroneutrality in the stationary process is confirmed. A wider range of ion diffusion occurs than a general electric double layer near solid surfaces, and a potential difference is generated between the liquid layers.
