font face="OneGulliverA" size="1"> The transfers of tetraethylammonium (TEA+) and protonated triflupromazine (HTFP+) through a hydrogel/liquid interface (g/o) and a liquid/liquid interface (w/o) were compared using cyclic voltammetry. After the two phases were put in contact, the behavior of each molecule was analyzed at different pH values and at different time points. The gel induces hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions with TEA+
