Bioinspired nanochannel design for analytical sensing and energy applications

Biomimetic Nanofluidics: From Nanochannel Design to Analytical Applications provides a systematic treatment of biomimetic nanofluidic analytical chemistry, written by two leading researchers with combined publications exceeding 550 papers. Organized into four parts-fundamentals, biomimetic design strategies, frontier analytical applications, and future perspectives-it connects nanoscale fluid transport theory and nanochannel fabrication with bio-inspired smart channel design and selective ion and molecule transport.

Biomimetic Nanofluidics covers ultrasensitive sensing, single-molecule and single-cell analysis, salinity-gradient energy generation, CO~2~capture, water treatment, and point-of-care testing. The book details how bioinspired nanochannels achieve dynamic responsiveness and selective transport, and addresses translation from laboratory systems to portable analytical devices and functional smart systems for real-world deployment across biomedical, environmental, and energy domains.

Readers will also find:

• Detailed coverage of nanochannel fabrication methods and the precise regulation of nanoconfined mass transport for ion and molecule selectivity
• Application-driven chapters on POCT, portable diagnostics, biosensing, disease diagnosis, and single-cell analysis using bioinspired nanofluidic platforms
• Strategies for salinity-gradient energy generation, CO~2~ capture, water treatment, and other sustainable energy and environmental technologies
• Guidance on translating laboratory nanofluidic systems into functional devices and smart analytical platforms for real-world use
• Interdisciplinary perspectives spanning analytical chemistry, materials science, biology, medicine, environmental science, and energy conversion research

Designed for analytical chemists, pharmaceutical and environmental chemists, and R&D teams in medical, food, and analytical laboratories, this reference delivers the depth required to apply biomimetic nanofluidic principles across biosensing, diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and energy conversion. Researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of nanofluidics and analytical chemistry will find it directly applicable to their work.
