Abstract: It is experimentally demonstrated that the recently discussed properties of the nanopore ion-exchange membranes (hysteresis of the I–V characteristic in solution and negative differential resistance) are not related to the membrane structure. The same effects are observed in a water bridge and tubes filled with water and may be related to the geometrical shape of the liquid conductor. The experimental effects are qualitatively interpreted.
