Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically a nanofluidic device for the selective recognition of the cesium ion by exploiting host−guest interactions inside confined geometry. For this purpose, a host molecule, i.e., the amine-terminated p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-crown (t-BuC[4]C−NH2), is successfully synthesized and functionalized on the surface of a single conical nanopore fabricated in a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) membrane through carbodiimide coupling chemistry. On exposure to the cesium cation, the t-BuC[4]C−Cs+ complex is formed through host−guest interaction, leading to the generation of positive fixed charges on the pore surface. The asymmetrical distribution of these groups along the conical nanopore leads to the electrical rectification observed in the current−voltage (I−V) curve. On the contrary, other alkali cations are not able to induce any significant change in the rectification characteristics of the nanopore. The success of the chemical modification is monitored from the changes in the electrical readout of the nanopore. Theoretical results based on the Nernst−Planck and Poisson equations further demonstrate the validity of the experimental approach to the cesium-induced ionic conduction of the nanopore.
