Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
We demonstrate a redox-sensitive nanofluidic diode whose ion rectification is modulated by the oxidation and reduction of chemical moieties incorporated on its surface. To achieve this goal, we have first synthesized the chemical compounds 1-(4-aminobutyl)-3-carbamoylpyridin-1-ium (Nic-BuNH2) and 3-carbamoyl-1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)pyridinium (Nic-DNP). Then, the surface of track-etched single asymmetric nanopores is decorated with the redox-sensitive Nic-BuNH2 and Nic-DNP molecules using carbodiimide coupling chemistry and Zincke reaction, respectively. The success of the modification reactions is monitored through the changes in the current-voltage (I-V) curves prior to and after pore functionalization. Upon exposing the modified pore to solutions of hydrogen peroxide (oxidizing agent) and sodium dithionite (reducing agent) the surface charge is reversibly modulated from positive to neutral, leading to measurable changes in the electronic readout of ion current passing through the nanopore. On oxidation, the quaternary nicotinamide units impart positive charge to the pore surface, resulting in the ion current rectification (anion-selective pore). On the contrary, the complementary reduced dihydronicotinamide moieties resulted in the loss of surface charge and ohmic behaviour (non-selective pore). The experimental results are further theoretically described by using Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations.
