Abstract
In this paper, we build an ion transport model that requires less computational cost. We study the ion transport firstly in conical nanopores. We study the current-time in conical nanopores. The noise is modelled in our study. The noise in conical nanopores is due to the pore diameter and salt concentration. We consider 1 M KCl. We extend our study to understand the current time in nanopores. We consider the graphene nanopores. The noise in our nanopores model is due to the pore diameter only. We consider 1 M KCl. We study the influence of ion transport from the conductance relation to concentration for the solid-state nanopores. The concentrations studied are 0.003 M, 0.01 M, 0.03 M, 0.05 M, 0.15 M, 0.3 M, 0.4 M, 0.5 M, and 1 M KCl. We study the linear current-voltage characteristics for solid-state nanopores. We consider 1 M KCl. The study of nanofluidics can find applications in energy, water desalination, and neuromorphic computing devices.
