Abstract
Natural organisms have evolved various biological ion channels to make timely responses toward different physical and/or chemical stimuli, giving guidance to construct artificial counterparts and expand the corresponding applications. They have also shown promising potential to overcome disadvantages of traditional electronic devices (e.g., energy-consuming operation and adverse humidity interference). Herein, we constructed a green alga-inspired nanofluidic system based on a Janus dual-field heterogeneous membrane (i.e., J-HM), which can function underwater as an artificial visual platform for light perception through enhanced active ion transport. The J-HM was obtained through sequentially assembled MXene and Cu-HHTP (i.e., a metal-organic framework based on the reaction between 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene hydrate (HHTP) and Cu2+) building units. Due to the formed temperature gradient and intramembrane electric field caused by the localized thermal excitation and efficient charge separation of J-HM under illumination, thermo-osmotic and photo-driven forces are generated for preferential cation transport from Cu-HHTP to MXene. Furthermore, unidirectional active transport can be enhanced by self-diffusion under a concentration gradient. Then, the corresponding underwater light perceptions at various light illumination conditions are explored, showing nearly a linear correlation with the light intensity. Finally, it is demonstrated that the visual platform can achieve object shape, definition, and distance recognition using a defined pixelated matrix, giving impetus to develop ionic signal transmission based sensing systems.

Abstract
Chiral flavor substances play an important role in the human perception of different tastes. Here, we report a pure covalent-organic framework (COF) membrane nanochannel in combination with a chiral gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) selector for sensing chiral flavor substances. The pure COF membrane with a proper pore size is selected as the nanochannel, while l-cysteine-modified AuNPs (l-Cys-AuNPs) are used as the chiral selector. l-Cys-AuNPs show stronger binding to the S-enantiomer than the R-enantiomer, causing current reduction to different degrees for the R- and S-enantiomer to achieve chiral sensing due to the synergistic effect of the size exclusion of the COF nanochannel and the chiral selectivity of l-Cys-AuNPs. The developed COF membrane nanochannel sensing platform not only allows an easy balance of the permeability and selectivity, which is difficult to achieve in traditional polymer membrane nanochannel sensors, but also exhibits better chiral performance than commercial artificial anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanochannel sensors. The developed nanochannel sensor is successfully applied for sensing flavor enantiomers such as limonene, propanediol, methylbutyric acid, and butanol with the enantiomer excess values of 55.2% (propanediol) and 72.4% (limonene) and the low detection limits of 36 (limonene) and 71 (propanediol) ng L-1. This study provides a new idea for the construction of nanochannel platforms based on the COF for sensitive and selective chiral sensing.

Abstract
Achieving fast transmembrane transmission of molecules in organisms is a challenging problem. Inspired by the transport of Dopmine (DA) in organisms, the DA transporter (DAT) binds to DA in a way that has a ring recognition (the recognition group is the tryptophan group). Herein, D-Tryptophan-pillar[5]arene (D-Trp-P5) functionalized conical nanochannel is constructed to achieve fast transmission of DA. The D-Trp-P5 functionalized nanochannel enables specific wettability recognition of DA molecules and has great cycle stability. With the controlling of voltage to wettability, the transport flux of DA is up to 499.73 nmol cm-2 h-1 at -6 V, 16.88 times higher than that under positive voltages. In response to these results, a high-throughput DA transport device based on controlled electricity-wettability is provided.

Abstract
CO2 cycloaddition with epoxides is a key catalytic procedure for CO2 utilization. Several metal-based catalysts with cocatalysts are developed for photo-driven CO2 cycloaddition, while facing difficulties in product purification and continuous reaction. Here, poly(ionic liquid)s are proposed as metal-free catalysts for photo-driven CO2 cycloaddition without cocatalysts. A series of poly(ionic liquid)s with donor-acceptor segments are fabricated and their photo-driven catalytic performance (conversion rate of 83.5% for glycidyl phenyl ether) outstrips (≈4.9 times) their thermal-driven catalytic performance (17.2%) at the same temperature. Mechanism studies confirm that photo-induced charge separation is promoted by the donor-acceptor segments and can accelerate the CO2 cycloaddition reaction. This work paves the way for the further use of poly(ionic liquid)s as catalysts in photo-driven CO2 cycloaddition.

Abstract
Tertiary phosphine oxides, phosphine sulfides, and phosphine selenides containing pyridine, imidazole, and pyrazole groups have been synthesized via the reaction of elemental phosphorus or secondary phosphine oxides with functional pyridines, imidazoles, and pyrazoles. Alkyl tris(2-pyridylethyl)phosphonium iodide and bromide are also obtained by quaternization of the corresponding phosphine. Antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds, including nitrogen-containing heterocycles, phosphorus, selenium, and sulfur, with respect to Enterococcus durans, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa microorganisms is evaluated. It is found that phosphine chalcogenides bearing imidazole (14, 19), pyrazole (13), and pyridine fragments (5, 9) and phosphonium salts (11, 12) can be considered as new promising antibacterial agents. For some synthesized compounds, LC50 is determined. Phosphine oxide with methylpyrazole fragments (13) and phosphonium salts (11, 12) show strong profile of antimicrobial activity, and cytotoxic effect of phosphonium bromide having a long chain radical (12) is by order of magnitude higher than that of cisplatin. We believe that the results obtained may contribute to the development of highly effective agents for the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections and cancers.

Abstract
The immobilization of enzymes in solid-state nanochannels is a new avenue for the design of biosensors with outstanding selectivity and sensitivity. This work reports the first theoretical model of an enzymatic nanochannel biosensor. The model is applied to the system previously experimentally studied by Lin, et al. (Anal. Chem. 2014, 86, 10546): a hourglass nanochannel modified by glucose oxidase for the detection of glucose. Our predictions are in good agreement with experimental observations as a function of the applied potential, pH and glucose concentration. The sensing mechanism results from the combination of three processes: i) the establishment of a steady-state proton concentration gradient due to a reaction-diffusion mechanism, ii) the effect of that gradient on the charge of the adsorbed enzymes and native surface groups, and iii) the effect of the resulting surface charge on the ionic current. Strategies to improve the sensor performance based on this mechanism are identified and discussed.

Abstract
Here, we confined fluorescent probes to solid nanochannels to construct nanosensors, which not only significantly improved the reusability of the molecular probes, but also achieved ion current and fluorescence dual gating for more reliable detection. The combination of optical and electrical modalities can provide comprehensive spatiotemporal information that can be used to elucidate the sensing mechanism within the nanochannel. As a proof-of-concept experiment, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)−hydrazine (N2H4) was selected to modify nanochannels for the effective detection of Hg2+. Based on spirolactam opening tactics, the system synergistically alters the surface charge and fluorescence intensity in response to Hg2+, establishing a dual open state of current and fluorescence. The newly prepared nanosensor exhibited a fast response (<1 min), high sensitivity, and selectivity towards Hg2+. Importantly, the nanodevice could be recovered by simple N2H4 treatment. Such sensing behavior could be used to implement optoelectronic dual-output XOR logical gates under the management of Hg2+ and N2H4. This strategy is anticipated to find broad applications in other nanochannel-based systems for various sensing applications used for monitoring of pollutants, food additives, and biomolecules.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) capture and storage technologies are promising to limit CO2 emission from anthropogenic activities, to achieve carbon neutrality goals. CO2 capture requires one to separate CO2 from other gases, and therefore a gas flow system that exhibits discernible gating behaviors for CO2 would be very useful. Here we propose a self-adaptive CO2 gas valve composed of chemically responsive liquid gating systems. The transmembrane critical pressures of the liquid gate vary upon the presence of CO2 , due to the superamphiphiles assembled by poly(propylene glycol) bis(2-aminopropyl ether) and oleic acid in gating liquids that are protonated specifically by CO2 . It is shown that the valve can perform self-adaptive regulation for specific gases and different concentrations of CO2 . This protonation-induced liquid gating mechanism opens a potential platform for applications of CO2 separators, detectors, sensors and beyond.

Abstract
Bio-inspired polymeric nanochannel (also referred as nanopore)-based biosensors have attracted considerable attention on account of their controllable channel size and shape, multi-functional surface chemistry, unique ionic transport properties, and good robustness for applications. There are already very informative reviews on the latest developments in solid-state artificial nanochannel-based biosensors, however, which concentrated on the resistive-pulse sensing-based sensors for practical applications. The steady-state sensing-based nanochannel biosensors, in principle, have significant advantages over their counterparts in term of high sensitivity, fast response, target analytes with no size limit, and extensive suitable range. Furthermore, among the diverse materials, nanochannels based on polymeric materials perform outstandingly, due to flexible fabrication and wide application. This compressive Review summarizes the recent advances in bio-inspired polymeric nanochannels as sensing platforms for detection of important analytes in living organisms, to meet the high demand for high-performance biosensors for analysis of target analytes, and the potential for development of smart sensing devices. In the future, research efforts can be focused on transport mechanisms in the field of steady-state or resistive-pulse nanochannel-based sensors and on developing precisely size-controlled, robust, miniature and reusable, multi-functional, and high-throughput biosensors for practical applications. Future efforts should aim at a deeper understanding of the principles at the molecular level and incorporating these diverse pore architectures into homogeneous and defect-free multi-channel membrane systems. With the rapid advancement of nanoscience and biotechnology, we believe that many more achievements in nanochannel-based biosensors could be achieved in the near future, serving people in a better way.

[PMID: 34633120 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202106067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Gas sensors based on organic molecules are attractive for their tailored molecular structures and controllable functions, but weak interfacial adhesion between sensing materials and supporting substrates has severely hampered their practical applications, particularly in harsh environments. Here, inspired by the combined anchoring-recognizing feature of natural olfactory systems, an adhesive-integrated-agent strategy to integrate the adhesive unit (poly(dimethylsiloxane)) with the sensing unit (organoplatinum(II)) into one chemistry entity, creating robust and sensitive nanobelt array gas sensors is demonstrated. Systematic theoretical and experimental studies reveal that incorporating adhesive units significantly enhances the interfacial adhesion of the array sensors and gas-bridged super-exchange electronic couplings of sensing units ensure their efficient gas-sensing performance. The high shear strength of ≈7.05 × 106 N m-2 allows these arrays to resist aggressive ultrasonication, tape peeling, or repeated bending without compromising their sensing performance. This molecular engineering strategy opens a new guideline to develop robust gas sensors.

Abstract
Inspired from bioprotein channels of living organisms, constructing "abiotic" analogues, solid-state nanochannels, to achieve "smart" sensing towards various targets, is highly seductive. When encountered with certain stimuli, dynamic switch of terminal modified probes in terms of surface charge, conformation, fluorescence property, electric potential as well as wettability can be monitored via transmembrane ionic current, fluorescence intensity, faraday current signals of nanochannels and so on. Herein, the modification methodologies of nanochannels and targets-detecting application are summarized in ions, small molecules, as well as biomolecules, and systematically reviewed are the nanochannel-based detection means including 1) by transmembrane current signals; 2) by the coordination of current- and fluorescence-dual signals; 3) by faraday current signals from nanochannel-based electrode. The coordination of current and fluorescence dual signals offers great benefits for synchronous temporal and spatial monitoring. Faraday signals enable the nanoelectrode to monitor both redox and non-redox components. Notably, by incorporation with confined effect of tip region of a needle-like nanopipette, glorious in-vivo monitoring is conferred on the nanopipette detector at high temporal-spatial resolution. In addition, some outlooks for future application in reliable practical samples analysis and leading research endeavors in the related fantastic fields are provided.

Abstract
As an important nanofluidic device, an artificial ion nanochannel could selectively transport ions inside its nanoconfinement space and the surface charge of the pore wall. Here, confinement effects were realized by tandem nanochannel units, which kept their cascade gaps less than 500 nm. Within these gaps, ionic conductance was governed by the surface charge density of the channel unit. Cations could be sufficiently selected and enriched within this confined space, which improves the cation transfer number of the system. Therefore, the tandem nanochannel system could greatly improve the diffusion potential and energy conversion efficiency in the salinity gradient power generation process. Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations were introduced to numerically simulate the ionic transport behavior and confirmed the experimental results. Finally, the gap confinement effect was introduced in the porous cellulose acetate membrane tandem nanochannel system, and a high output power density of 4.72 W/m2 and energy conversion efficiency of 42.22% were achieved under stacking seven channel units.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is an important reactive oxygen/nitrogen species that participates in a range of physiological and pathological processes by modulating ion flux through biological channels. Inspired by a ONOO--regulated K+ channel in vivo, herein, we describe the construction of a smart ONOO--driven nanosensor using a spirocyclic ring open/close reaction approach. The prepared nanosensor possessed a prominent ONOO- selectivity and sensitivity and rapid response (∼90 s) owing to the specific reaction between ONOO- and ligands on the nanosensor surface with a high ion rectification ratio (∼10) and ion gating ratio (∼4). Moreover, this nanosensor system also exhibits excellent stability and recyclability. Thus, these results will provide a new direction for the design of nanochannel-based sensors for future practical and biological applications.

Abstract
Surface charge-based nanopore characterization techniques unfold unique properties and provide a powerful platform for a variety of sensing applications. In this paper, we have proposed a nanoconfined inner wall surface charge characterization method with glass nanopores. The glass nanopores were functionalized with DNA aptamers that were designed for mercury (Hg2+) ion immobilization by forming thymine–Hg2+–thymine structures. The surface charge of the nanopores was modulated by surface chemistry and Hg2+ ion concentrations and analysed by combining zeta potential measurements on glass slides and the ionic current rectification ratio of the nanopores. Also, 1 pM Hg2+ ions could be detected by the nanopores. Surface charge-based nanopore characterization techniques unfold unique properties and provide a powerful platform for a variety of sensing applications.![]()

Abstract
Inspired by communication modes of cell junction proteins, an artificial bichannel nanofluidic diode system was constructed and investigated to implement basic "AND" and "OR" logic gates in different connection modes. Input conditions were set as conducting and nonconducting states of each nanofluidic diode unit. Output results were set as response current of the system at rated voltage. Besides, nanofluidic diodes with different ionic permeabilities were connected in multiple modes, and different logic operation results were obtained. This novel logic device based on nanofluidic diodes provided a new approach to establish diverse stimuli-responsive signal processing networks and has prospect to obtain nanofluidic diode intelligence chips by integrating in large scale.

Abstract
The design of intelligent gating in nanoscale is the subject of intense research motivated by a broad potential impact on science and technology. However, the existing designs require complex modification and are unstable, which restrict their practical applications. Here, a magnetic gated nanofluidic is reported based on the integration of superhydrophilic membranes and reconfigurable ferrofluid, which realizes the gating of the nanochannel by adjusting the steric configuration of the ferrofluid. This system could achieve ultrahigh gating ratio up to 10 000 and excellent stability up to 130 cycles without attenuation. Experiments and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the switch is controlled by the synergy of magnetic force and the interfacial tension. The introduction of ferrofluid and superhydrophilic nanochannels in this work presents an important paradigm for the nanofluidic systems and opens a new and promising avenue to various developments in the fields of materials science, which may be utilized in medical devices, nanoscale synthesis, and environmental analysis.

Abstract
Ionic current rectification (ICR) phenomena within dual glass pipettes are investigated for the first time. We demonstrate that the ionic flow presents different behaviors in dual nano- and micropipettes when the two channels are filled with the same electrolyte KCl and hung in air. Bare dual nanopipettes cannot rectify the ionic current because of their geometric symmetry, but the ICR can be directly observed based on bare dual micropipettes. The phenomena based on dual micropipettes could be explained by the simulation of the Poisson-Nernst-Plank equation. After modification with different approaches, the dual nanopipettes have asymmetric charge patterns and show various ICR behaviors. They have been successfully employed to fabricate various nanodevices, such as ionic diodes and bipolar junction transistors. Due to the simple and fast fabrication with high reproducibility, these dual pipettes can provide a novel platform for controlling ionic flow in nano- and microfluidics, fabrication of novel nanodevices, and detection of biomolecules.

Abstract
ABC triblock copolymer assemblies with reversible "breathing" behaviors based on poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate]-b-poly(benzyl methacrylate)-b-poly[2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (POEGMA-b-PBnMA-b-PDEA) are fabricated via one-pot sequential reverisble addition-fragmentation chain transfer dispersion polymerization. Using a POEGMA as the macromolecular chain transfer agent, chain extension with BnMA and DEA is conducted in ethanol, where PBnMA acts as the core-forming block, and the PDEA block endows the solvophilicity and CO2 -responsiveness. With the increment of the DP of PBnMA, the morphology of the assemblies evolves from spheres to worms, and to vesicles, while it degenerates from conglutinated vesicles to spheres as the DP of PDEA increases. After replacing ethanol with water, the morphologies of these assemblies remain unchanged, while their size decreases due to the collapse of the hydrophobic PDEA chains. Interestingly, due to the protonation and deprotonation of PDEA blocks, both the spheres and vesicles manifest a reversible expansion/shrinkage upon alternative CO2 /Ar stimulation, exhibiting distinctive breathing feature.

Abstract
A general stepwise strategy for the fabrication of CO2-tunable plasmonic nanosensors was described for the first time, based on gold surface functionalization by CO2-responsive poly(N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDEAEMA) brushes via a surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) method, then the extremity of PDEAEMA was functionalized by linking the polyacrylamide (PAAm) brushes via ATRP, where they were assembled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) efficiently by altering the deposition time. The swelling–shrinking states of the PDEAEMA brushes can be tuned just by passing CO2 and N2 through a solution alternately. The unique plasmonic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing properties of these stimulable substrates were investigated using 4-mercaptophenol (4MPh) as a molecular probe. When alternating CO2 and N2 bubbling in the water solution, the reversible switching of the SERS signals was complete. By in situ contact-mode atomic force microscopy, the thickness of the polymer layer was observed to be 26 nm in CO2 saturated water, and after N2 bubbling to remove CO2 it decreased to 15 nm, causing the AuNPs to move near to the gold surface. Meanwhile, the distance between the nearby AuNPs becomes smaller, and the surface coverage (φ) of the AuNPs increased from 27% to 35%. The reported CO2-responsive plasmonic nanosensor provided a dynamic SERS platform, with reversible regulation for electromagnetic coupling between the AuNPs and the gold surface, and between nearby AuNPs. A CO2-tunable plasmonic nanosensor: just by passing CO2 and N2 through a water solution alternately, the swelling–shrinking states of PDEAEMA brushes can be tuned, and reversible switching of SERS signals can be obtained.![]()

Abstract
Bioinspired smart asymmetric nanochannel membranes (BSANM) have been explored extensively to achieve the delicate ionic transport functions comparable to those of living organisms. The abiotic system exhibits superior stability and robustness, allowing for promising applications in many fields. In view of the abundance of research concerning BSANM in the past decade, herein, we present a systematic overview of the development of the state-of-the-art BSANM system. The discussion is focused on the construction methodologies based on raw materials with diverse dimensions (i.e. 0D, 1D, 2D, and bulk). A generic strategy for the design and construction of the BSANM system is proposed first and put into context with recent developments from homogeneous to heterogeneous nanochannel membranes. Then, the basic properties of the BSANM are introduced including selectivity, gating, and rectification, which are associated with the particular chemical and physical structures. Moreover, we summarized the practical applications of BSANM in energy conversion, biochemical sensing and other areas. In the end, some personal opinions on the future development of the BSANM are briefly illustrated. This review covers most of the related literature reported since 2010 and is intended to build up a broad and deep knowledge base that can provide a solid information source for the scientific community.

Abstract
Many ion channels in the cell membrane are believed to function as gates that control the water and ion flow through the transitions between an inherent hydrophobic state and a stimuli-induced hydration state. The construction of nanofluidic gating systems with high gating efficiency and reversibility is inspired by this hydrophobic gating behavior. A kind of electrically actuated nanochannel is developed by integrating a polypyrrole (PPy) micro/nanoporous film doped with perfluorooctanesulfonate ions onto an anodic aluminum oxide nanoporous membrane. Stemming from the reversible wettability switch of the doped PPy film in response to the applied redox potentials, the nanochannels exhibit highly efficient and reversible gating behaviors. The optimized gating ratio is over 105 , which is an ultrahigh value when compared with that of the existing reversibly gated nanochannels with comparable pore diameters. Furthermore, the gating behavior of the electrically actuated nanochannels shows excellent repeatability and stability. Based on this highly efficient and reversible gating function, the electrically actuated nanochannels are further applied for drug delivery, which achieves the pulsatile release of two water-soluble drug models. The electrically actuated nanochannels may find potential applications in accurate and on-demand drug therapy.

Abstract
A significant growth of research in nanofluidics is achieved over the past decade, but the field is still facing considerable challenges toward the transition from the current physics-centered stage to the next application-oriented stage. Many of these challenges are associated with materials science, so the field of nanofluidics offers great opportunities for materials scientists to exploit. In addition, the use of unusual effects and ultrasmall confined spaces of well-defined nanofluidic environments would offer new mechanisms and technologies to manipulate nanoscale objects as well as to synthesize novel nanomaterials in the liquid phase. Therefore, nanofluidics will be a new arena for materials science. In the past few years, burgeoning progress has been made toward this trend, as overviewed in this article, including materials and methods for fabricating nanofluidic devices, nanofluidics with functionalized surfaces and functional material components, as well as nanofluidics for manipulating nanoscale materials and fabricating new nanomaterials. Many critical challenges as well as fantastic opportunities in this arena lie ahead. Some of those, which are of particular interest, are also discussed.

Abstract
Periodic ion-conduction oscillation of biological ion channels in a living system is essential for numerous life processes. Here we report an oscillatory nanofluidic system that can self-regulate its ion-conduction states under constant conditions. The oscillatory nanofluidic system is constructed by integrating a chemical oscillator into an artificial single nanochannel system. Oscillating chemical reactions of the pH oscillator carried out inside the nanochannel are used to switch the surface properties of the channel between highly and lowly charged states, thus realizing an autonomous, continuous and periodic oscillation of the ion conductance of the channel between high and low ion-conduction states. The ion-conduction switching is characterized by the periodic ion current oscillation of the nanochannel measured under constant conditions. The oscillation period of the nanofluidic devices decreased gradually with increasing the working temperature. This study is a potential step toward the ability to directly convert chemical energy to ion-conduction oscillation in nanofluidics. On the basis of these findings, we believe that a variety of artificial oscillatory nanofluidic systems will be achieved in future by integrating artificial functional nanochannels with diverse oscillating chemical reactions.

Abstract
Here, we demonstrate a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligos (PMO)-functionalized nanochannel biosensor for label-free detection of microRNAs (miRNAs) with ultrasensitivity and high sequence specificity. PMO, as a capture probe, was covalently anchored on the nanochannel surface. Because of the neutral character and high sequence-specific affinity of PMO, hybridization efficiency between PMO and miRNAs was enhanced, thus largely decreasing background signals and highly improving the detection specificity and sensitivity. The miRNAs detection was realized through observing the change of surface charge density when PMO/miRNAs hybridization occurred. Not only could the developed biosensor specifically discriminate complementary miRNAs (Let-7b) from noncomplementary miRNAs (miR-21) and one-base mismatched miRNAs (Let-7c), but also it could detect target miRNAs in serum samples. In addition, this nanochannel-based biosensor attained a reliable limit of detection down to 1 fM in PBS and 10 fM in serum sample, respectively. It is expected that such a new method will benefit miRNA detection in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Many biological ion channels controlled by biochemical reactions have autonomous and periodic gating functions, which play important roles in continuous mass transport and signal transmission in living systems. Inspired by these functional biological ion channel systems, here we report an artificial self-oscillating nanochannel system that can autonomously and periodically control its gating process under constant conditions. The system is constructed by integrating a chemical oscillator, consisting of BrO3-, Fe(CN)64-, H+, and SO32-, into a synthetic proton-sensitive nanochannel modified with C-quadruplex (C4) DNA motors. The chemical oscillator, containing H+-producing and H+-consuming reactions, can cyclically drive conformational changes of the C4-DNA motors on the channel wall between random coil and folded i-motif structures, thus leading to autonomous gating of the nanochannel between open and closed states. The autonomous gating processes are confirmed by periodic high-low ionic current oscillations of the channel monitored under constant reaction conditions. The utilization of a chemical oscillator integrated with DNA molecules represents a method to directly convert chemical energy of oscillating reactions to kinetic energy of conformational changes of the artificial nanochannels and even to achieve diverse autonomous gating functions in artificial nanofluidic devices.
