Abstract

A mussel-inspired new interfacial ionic rectification device is fabricated using porous anodic alumina nanochannels and graphene oxide via dopamine polymerization. In addition, the rectification mechanism is elucidated based on the principles of physics and thermodynamics via finite element simulation and the results show that the interface distance and surface charge play a vital role in ion transport.
