| Sumario: | [EN] Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) constitutes a useful tool in membrane science and technology because it provides valuable structural and functional information. The different arcs observed in the impedance spectra permit to decouple and understand distinct physico-chemical phenomena occurring under operating conditions. By using EIS techniques, we have characterized here multipore asymmetric membranes with conical pores that exhibit a broad range of ionic conduction properties, including current rectification. These properties can be modulated by tuning the electrical interaction between the charges functionalized on the pore surface and the nanoconfined ionic solution. In particular, the membrane electrical response is studied as a function of the amplitude and frequency of the external voltage signal, the electrolyte type and concentration, and the solution pH. Remarkably, significant chemical inductance effects are observed. The scalability and biocompatibility of these pores suggest good potential for use in hybrid biodevices and interfaces. |
