Fig. 6. Finite element analyses of the mass transfer in the nanoreactors with different morphologies.
a, d The simulated transient-state concentration gradient of the reactants in different nanoreactors at 20 µs. b, e The corresponding total flux profiles of reactants in single- and dual-chambered nanoreactors at 20 µs. Position A is the opening of the nanoreactor, Position B is the center location of the upper chamber, Position C is the middle of the whole cavity, and Position D is the center location of the bottom chamber. c The calculated transient-state concentration gradient of the reactants at 20 µs at different positions of the nanoreactors. f The concentration distribution as a function of diffusion distance (different position) at 20 µs. The diffusion of reactants to the bottom chamber is specified as the positive direction. The simulations were performed in a time-dependent mode at a microsecond scale due to the rapid evolution of physical fields. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
