Abstract
In this research, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanopores with different diameters between 3 to 85 nm are fabricated and embedded in plastic microfluidic chips for nanofluidic study. An ionic liquid blocking and gating phenomenon when filling the electrolyte solution into the 7-layer microfluidic flow cell has been investigated. By applying a variable voltage of 0 to 3 V across the packaged nanopore chip, the fluid disconnection at the nanopore interface can be eliminated. Furthermore, the correlation between the diameter of nanopores and the gating voltage has been characterized.
