Abstract
increased the work function (WF) of 2D nanochannels thereby reducing the interaction of other ions with the channel surface. The acceleration phenomenon of ion transport by surface state modulation proposed in our work will provide new strategies for the design of structure and regulation of surface states, revealing the mechanism of capacity improvement.
