Potassium ion.This several groups of carbonylic oxygen atoms can make to will form stable KwK (potassium ion-hydrone-potassium ion) structure in channel.When
A new potassium ion arrives, and understands and a hydrone be incorporated in channel side together, entire KwK structure moves one to the other side
Lattice, while the potassium ion of the other side and a hydrone can be discharged into environment together, the move mechanism substantially increase potassium from
The movement speed of son, and in same channel sodium ion cannot be formed with carbonylic oxygen atom NwN (sodium ion-hydrone-sodium from
Son) structure, the movement speed of sodium ion is with regard to much lower.Similarly (adulterated at equal intervals in cavity inside several with the carbon nanotube that N is adulterated
Group N atom) also show height passability to a certain specific ion.Therefore the specific structure inside hole and its with ion it
Between interaction significantly control the speed that ion passes through hole.
