Abstract

The transport of ions from aqueous solutions through a stacked Au/α-Al2O3/γ-Al2O3/Au membrane under the influence of a dc potential difference is reported. The membrane shows high cation permselectivity at ionic strengths of ∼10-3 M at pH 4.3–6.5, which is associated with a combination of anion adsorption and double-layer overlap inside the pores of the γ-alumina layer. The cation flux can be controlled by ionic strength, dc potential difference and pH.
