Harnessing nanofluidic rectification for electrically driven water purification - Nature Materials
Electro-osmotic flow rectification, a nonlinear nanofluidic effect, has been scaled up to the membrane level. This effect allows for continuous water purification using oscillating electric fields and achieves a performance equivalent of up to 15 bars of pressure per applied volt. This approach offers a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to pressure-driven filtration and electrodialysis.
