Experimental Study on the Effects of Applied Electric Field on Liquid Infiltration into Hydrophobic Zeolite

A nanofluidic energy absorption system (NEAS) is composed of nanoporous material and functional liquid with high density. Applying an electric field to adjust the characteristics a will open broader prospects for its application. In current work, ZSM-5 zeolite was adopted as water, 25% KCl solution, saturated solution were liquids configure NEASs. Pressure-induced infiltration experiments carried out study defiltration NEASs under action applied field. The results show that introduction can weaken hydrogen bonds between molecules, thus reducing equivalent surface tension contact angle, changing infiltrability molecules into nanopores, pressure system. electrolyte solution/zeolite system, anions cations move close two plate electrodes external field, fluid properties in central zone chamber are water/zeolite For both ultra-low conductivity applying effectively improve relative outflow rate liquid, improving reusability
