Measured apparent activation energies, $$E_A$$, of ion transport (K⁺ and Cl^–) in conical glass nanopores are reported as a function of applied voltage (-0.5 to 0.5 V), pore size (20–2000 nm), and electrolyte concentration (0.1–50 mM). $$E_A$$ values for transport within an electrically charged conical glass nanopore differ from the bulk values due to the voltage and temperature-dependent distribution of the ions within the double layer. Remarkably, nanopores that display ion current rectification also display a large decrease in $$E_A$$ under accumulation mode conditions (at applied negative voltages versus an external ground) and a large increase in $$E_A$$ under depletion mode conditions (at positive voltages). Finite element simulations based on the Poisson–Nernst–Planck model semiquantitatively predict the measured temperature-dependent conductivity and dependence of $$E_A$$ on applied voltage. The results highlight the relationships between the distribution of ions with the nanopore, ionic current, and $$E_A$$ and their dependencies on pore size, temperature, ion concentration, and applied voltage.
