“…By utilizing the ultra-small and enclosed spaces and large surface-to-volume ratio, various kinds of applications, such as chemical and biochemical devices, including DNA [43][44][45][46] and ion separations, [47][48][49][50][51] ion condensation, [52][53][54] and ion rectification [55][56][57] and energy devices, [58,59] have been already developed. Their unique performance has been explained in terms of size-confinement effects on liquid properties, such as viscosity, dielectric constant, pH, and ion mobility and transportation, etc.…”
