Coupled water, charge and salt transport in heterogeneous nano-fluidic systems
B. L. Werkhoven, R. van Roij
We theoretically study the electrokinetic transport properties of nano-fluidic devices under the influence of a pressure, voltage or salinity gradient. On a microscopic level the b…
Dynamic Stern layers in charge-regulating electrokinetic systems: three regimes from an analytical approach
B. L. Werkhoven, S. Samin, René van Roij
We present analytical solutions for the electrokinetics at a charged surface with both non-zero Stern-layer conductance and finite chemical reaction rates. We have recently studied…
Flow-induced surface charge heterogeneity in electrokinetics due to Stern-layer conductance coupled to reaction kinetics
B. L. Werkhoven, J. C. Everts, S. Samin +1
We theoretically study the electrokinetic problem of a pressure-induced liquid flow through a narrow long channel with charged walls, going beyond the classical Helmholtz-Schmoluko…
Harvesting vibrational energy with liquid-bridged electrodes: thermodynamics in mechanically and electrically driven RC-circuits
Mathijs Janssen, Ben Werkhoven, René van Roij
We theoretically study a vibrating pair of parallel electrodes bridged by a (deformed) liquid droplet, which is a recently developed microfluidic device to harvest vibrational ener…
