Ion current behaviors of mesoporous zeolite-polymer composite nanochannels prepared by water-assisted self-assembly.

Inspired by the asymmetry of biological ion channels in structure and composition, we designed a novel type of artificial asymmetric nanochannels based on mesoporous zeolite (MCM-41) and polyimide (PI) by water-assisted self-assembly. Meanwhile, we studied ionic current behaviors and rectifying characteristics of the mesoporous zeolite-polymer composite nanochannels.
