Abstract
The deposition of a monolayer nanoarray on the surface of a micrometer-thick substrate is demonstrated, producing rectification characteristics at the nanoscale. The experimental results show that the heterogeneity of the structure and the charge density are the two key factors affecting rectification, which was confirmed with molecular dynamic (MD) and finite element simulations. Moreover, by altering the asymmetric electrolyte environment, the fabricated heterogeneous membrane can be used in energy conversion. This study provides insights into the mechanism underlying the generation of rectification and related factors, providing a theoretical basis for the characteristics of rectification.
