What is Electro-osmotic Properties of Porous Permeable Films about?

Permeable porous coatings on a flat solid support significantly impact its electrostatic and electrokinetic properties. Existing work has focused on simplified cases, such as weakly charged and/or thick porous films, with limited theoretical guidance. Here, we consider the general case of coatings of any given volume charge density and obtain analytic formulas for electrostatic potential profiles, valid for any film thickness and salt concentration. They allow us to calculate analytically the difference between potentials at solid support and at interface with an outer electrolyte, that is the key parameter ascertaining the functionality of permeable coatings. Our analysis provides a framework for interpreting and predicting specific for porous films super-properties, from an enhanced ion absorption to a giant amplification of electro-osmotic flows. The results are relevant for hydrogel and zeolite coatings, porous carbon and ion-exchange resins, polyelectrolyte brushes, and more.
