Hindered mass transport is widely observed in various porous media, including filtration membranes and porous rocks. However, there is no universal model capable of predicting transport in porous media due to the heterogeneity of porous structures and the complexity of the underlying microscopic mechanisms, including electrostatic and hydrodynamic effects. Here, we used a highly ordered porous medium (i.e. a silica inverse opal film) as a model system to directly explore the effects of geometric parameters (i.e. pore size, pore throat size and tracer particle size) and microscopic interaction parameters (e.g. controlled by ionic strength) on nanoparticle transport in porous environments using three-dimensional single-particle tracking. We found a linear scaling relation between the macroscopic diffusion coefficient and microscopic diffusion behaviors and a combination of parameters associated with microscopic features and phenomena, including both geometric effects and particle-level interactions. The proportionality coefficient relating micro and macro behaviors was complex and related to the connectivity of the matrix and pore-size variation, which could lead to tortuous diffusion pathways, hindering macroscopic transport. Furthermore, these findings provide important insights into nanoparticles and macromolecules transport in various porous media.
