Scalable integration of photoresponsive highly aligned nanochannels for self-powered ionic devices.

ABSTRACT: Artificial ionic nanochannels with light perception capabilities hold promise for creating ionic devices. Nevertheless, most research primarily focuses on regulating single nanochannels, leaving the cumulative effect of numerous nanochannels and their integration underexplored. We herein develop a biomimetic photoreceptor based on photoresponsive highly aligned nanochannels (pHANCs), which exhibit uniform channel heights, phototunable surface properties, and excellent compatibility with microfabrication techniques, enabling the scalable fabrication and integration into functional ionic devices. These pHANCs demonstrate exceptional ion selectivity and permeability due to the high surface charges and well-ordered conduits, resulting in outstanding energy harvesting from concentration gradien
