Abstract: This research develops microchannel designs for water filtration by harnessing diffusiophoresis, which induces particle motion using an electrolyte solute gradient in a cross-flow orientation.Diffusiophoresis shows potential to provide a decentralized and low-cost water filtration technology to separate micrometer sized colloids such as microplastics from raw water.
