Abstract
Cation-π interaction is a non-covalent interaction, which plays an increasingly important role in chemistry, biology and materials science. The electrokinetic effects based on cation-π interaction, such as relative motion induced electron drag, ion migration, Coulomb drag and pseudocapacitance, are typical applications of graphene materials in the fields of environment, energy and even biology [1]. For graphene, its controllable two-dimensional surface/interface cation-π interaction and its coupling effect have a significant impact on the power generation performance of the membrane. It is a key scientific problem to study the electrokinetic effect of graphene-ionic solution during mutual motion and reveal the electricity generation behavior under multi-mode motions such as surface diffusion, ion penetration, liquid surface displacement and continuous flow. Based on the full understanding of the influence of cation-π interaction in graphene systems, combined with the application potential of cation-π interaction in environment, energy and other aspects, this talk proposes a new idea of using cation-π interaction at the solid-liquid surface/interface, coupling surface/interface charge separation and collection, and developing a liquid flow driven membrane structure based on combined surface diffusion and interlayer permeation.
