2D Dielectric Enhancement of Ion Coulomb Drag Amplification in Nanofluidics

M Xiong, JP Leburton - The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2024 - ACS Publications
We investigate ion–electron Coulomb drag in 2D nanofluidic slits using a generic physical
model based on the Boltzmann transport formalism. The emphasis is placed on the fluid …

Hydroelectric energy conversion of waste flows through hydro-electronic drag

B Coquinot, L Bocquet, N Kavokine - arXiv preprint arXiv:2403.20209, 2024 - arxiv.org
Hydraulic energy is a key component of the global energy mix, yet there exists no practical
way of harvesting it at small scales, from flows at low Reynolds number. This has triggered …
