Conventional N2The adsorption-desorption method and other means can represent the ratio of the interior of the materialThe parameters such as surface area, pore volume and pore size distribution have certain correlation with the diffusion capacity of molecules in the pore channels, but the diffusion rate of the molecules cannot be directly reflected. The diffusion coefficient of molecules in the porous material is a quantitative parameter for representing the diffusion rate of the molecules, is an important index for directly researching the diffusion performance of the material, and the development of the method capable of directly measuring the diffusion coefficient of the molecules in the porous material has great significance for the research of the porous material.
The diffusion coefficient can be measured by various means such as nuclear magnetic resonance, molecular simulation, gravimetric method, and zero-length column method.
