Water is the sustainable solvent of excellence, but its high polarity limits the solubility of non-
polar compounds. Confinement of water in hydrophobic pores alters its hydrogen bonding …

Clathrate hydrates are crystalline solids distinguished by their capacity to host many guest
molecules. Natural gas stored in hydrate form, also known as solidified natural gas, is …

It is well recognized that ice-like water can be formed in carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Here, we
perform molecular dynamics simulations of the hydration of Na+, K+ and Cl–in armchair …

An ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) inlaid with micropores was derived via a hard
template method. OMC micropores loaded with sulfur (S-OMC) were used as a cathode for …

Harnessing the subsurface geologic environments in an efficient and environmentally
sustainable manner is challenged by uncertainties associated with predicting the fate of …

To examine the influence of pore wall hydrophobicity on freezing and melting behavior of a
confined water, we measured the X-ray diffraction pattern of water in the nearly cylindrical …

Abundant experimental evidence suggests that adsorbates confined in nanoporous
materials exhibit high pressures, such as high pressure crystal structures, high pressure …

Phenomena that occur only at high pressures in bulk phases are often observed in
nanopores, suggesting that the pressure in such confined phases is large. We develop two …

In this study, the structure of nanoconfined ice and its behavior during the melting process
have been investigated. For this purpose, deionized water was inserted into the pores of the …

We report X-ray diffraction studies of water and carbon tetrachloride adsorbed in
nanoporous activated carbon fibres. The fibres are built of turbostratic nanoparticles …
