By applying a quasihydrostatic pressure, water or electrolyte solution can be compressed into a surface treated MSU-H mesoporous silica. Based on the pressure-volume curves, thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of the pressurized flow are analyzed. For pure water based system, continuum theory explains the testing data quite well but fails to capture the rate effect. For electrolyte solution based system, the classic interface theory breaks down, probably due to the unique ion behaviors in the nanoenvironment.
