I4) Molecular and Ionic Transport in Nanoconfined Channels: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Chair(s): Sui Zhang (NUS), Jie Shen (NTU)

Co-Chair(s): Rakesh Joshi (UNSW, Australia), Luda Wang (Peking University, China)

The study and control of fluids, pores, and channels at the nano- and sub-nanoscale has become a critical interdisciplinary research frontier with wide-ranging applications in energy, catalysis, healthcare, materials science, and environmental sustainability. This symposium aims to promote collaboration and the exchange of cutting-edge ideas by bringing together researchers working at the intersection of nanofluidics, materials design, and membrane science. Participants will have the opportunity to present their latest research and build valuable connections across disciplines.

Key Topics:

  • Fundamentals of nanofluidic transport in pores and channels
  • Lithium and proton separation for power
  • Nanofluidic sensing, sequencing, and single-molecule detection
  • Ionic circuits and nanofluidic systems for information processing
  • Carbon capture and selective gas separations
  • Organic molecule separation and purification
  • Ion-selective transport for catalysis and electrochemical energy systems
  • Advanced nanomaterials for membranes and separation technologies
  • Theoretical and computational modeling of nanofluidic phenomena

Scalable fabrication methods for nanostructured membranes
