Self-driven micropumps propelled by salts show high efficiency in water decontamination

A study recently published in “Nature Communications” and led by ICN2 researcher Dr María José Esplandiu introduces micropatterned pumps that use salts as fuel and that can selectively remove cadmium ions from water samples. Reusable, operable in high salt concentrations and able to drive unidirectional fluid flows, these devices look promising for various environmental and biomedicine applications.
