Operating natural or artificial chemical systems requires nonequilibrium conditions, which can be achieved by open reaction-diffusion systems like hydrogels. By separating two reactants in two channels in a hydrogel, a bipolar antagonistic diffusion field is created, allowing for spatial separation of reaction intermediates.
Operating natural or artificial chemical systems requires nonequilibrium conditions under which temporal and spatial control of the process is realizable. Open reaction-diffusion systems provide a general way to create such conditions. A key issue is the proper design of reactors in which the nonequilibrium conditions can be maintained. A hydrogel with flow-through channels is a simple, flexible, and easy-to-make device in which chemical reactions are performed in the diffusion field of localized separated sources of reactants. Two reactants separated in two channels create a bipolar antagonistic diffusion field, where the reaction intermediates firmly separate in space. Numerical simulations and corresponding experiments are performed to present this inhomogeneous diffusion field-induced chemical separation in sequential reactions. A remarkable result of this bipolar spatial control is localized wave phenomena in a nonlinear activatory-inhibitory reaction. These findings may help design functioning artificial nonequilibrium systems with the desired spatial separation of chemicals.
