We explore the temperature dependence of pressure-driven water permeation through membranes consisting of a vertically aligned double-walled carbon nanotube (VA DWCNT) array. The prepared membrane with CNT inner diameter of 3.9 nm exhibits no water permeation below the critical temperature of 26 °C, after which water permeability is first observed and increases with temperatures >26 °C. Further, the critical temperature decreases to 18 °C when the CNT inner diameter increases to 6.0 nm. The water permeation in the CNT-confined space exhibits activation energy transitions around room temperature, thereby suggesting that the confined water molecules in CNTs exhibit plural ordered structures.
