Abstract
Molecular Dynamics simulations of the flow of aqueous electrolyte solutions through carbon nanotubes are presented. The pronounced solution structuring, energy barriers and diverse transport features are related to the nanotube geometry, solute specificity, concentration, and applied electric fields. The control of the ionic transport by means of applied surface charges is investigated and the role of the induced dipole interactions is analyzed.
