Effects of channel size, wall wettability, and electric field strength on ion removal from water in nanochannels

Abstract Molecular dynamics simulations are employed to estimate the effect of nanopore size, wall wettability, and the external field strength on successful ion removal from water solutions. It is demonstrated that the presence of ions, along with the additive effect of an external electric field,...
