Abstract

By measuring the ion concentration in a pressure-induced infiltration experiment on a hydrophobic Zeolite Socony Mobil-5, it is found that the nanopore wall has a strong ion repelling effect. When the initial ion concentration is relatively low, only water molecules can enter the nanopores. Once the initial ion concentration is relatively high, ions can infiltrate into the nanopores, but the effective ion concentration of the confined liquid is much lower.
