In a nanofluidic system, the electroosmotic flow (EOF) is a complex fluid transport
mechanism, where the formation of an electrical double layer (EDL) occurs ubiquitously at …

When a surface is immersed in a solution, it usually acquires a charge, which attracts
counterions and repels co-ions to form an electrical double layer. The ions directly adsorbed …
