The selective transport of ion across a separation layer is an important thermodynamic driven phenomenon that enables a variety of processes including the crucial signaling of biological cells, the proper functioning of many batteries, and the optimization of desalination membranes for clean water. Nuclear Magnetic resonance is uniquely suited to give insight to the dynamic behavior of ions adsorbed in these complex media systems as it’s sensitivity to local fluctuations and ion mobility is reflected in the observed spectral patterns, relaxation rates, and apparent self-diffusivities. Ion imbibed complex media were studied in order to assist in the description local ion behavior and mobility.
