Sieving behaviour of nanoscopic pores by hydrated ions.
In this study, for the first time, the anion dependency of Ag-deposition on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with alkyl chains long enough to meet the densely packed and well-organized surface is reported. Irrespective of pH, types of terminal groups of the SAMs, and the convective mass transfer condition, SAM structures show the "sieving behaviour" to the Ag deposition by the composition of the electrolytes.
