Simulation of Ion Trapping in Graphene (VIDEO)

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Caption

NIST simulation of ion trapping in a saline solution with a graphene membrane (turquoise) containing oxygen-lined pores (red) that trap potassium ions (grey) but not chlorine ions (blue). Ion trapping prevents penetration of additional ions through the membrane. Such a setup might be used for computing in a liquid medium.
