Water confinement inside a carbon nanotube (CNT) has been one of the most exciting subjects of both experimental and theoretical interest. Most of the previous studies, however, considered CNT structures with simple cylindrical shapes. In…
Recently unusual properties of water in single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) with diameters ranging from 1.05 nm to 1.52 nm were observed. It was found that water in the CNT remains in an ice-like phase even when the temperature ranges…
The curvature dependence of the physisorption properties of a water molecule inside and outside an armchair carbon nanotube (CNTs) is investigated by an incremental density-fitting local coupled cluster treatment with single and double…
Narrow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) desalinate water, mimicking water channels of biological membranes, yet the physics behind selectivity, especially, the effect of the membrane embedding CNTs on water and ion transfer, is still unclear. Here,…
In this article, we show that it is possible to differentiate between water adsorbed on the outside of a single-walled carbon nanotube and that confined inside. To this aim, we measured the electronic transport of a carbon nanotube based…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the diffusion of water inside deformed carbon nanotubes, with different degrees of eccentricity at 300K. We found a water structural transition between tubular-like to single-file for the (7,7)…
Hydrated excess protons under hydrophobic confinement are a critical component of charge transport behavior and reactivity in nanoporous materials and biomolecular systems. Herein excess proton confinement effects are computationally…
Water-flow in carbon nanotubes (CNT's) starkly contradicts classical fluid mechanics, with permeabilities that can exceed no-slip Haagen-Poiseuille predictions by two to five orders of magnitude. Semi-classical molecular dynamics accounts…
Water, when confined at the nanoscale acquires extraordinary transport properties. And yet there is no direct experimental evidence of these properties at nanoscale resolution. Here, by using 2D NMR diffusion-relaxation (D-T2) and…
Spontaneous entry of water molecules inside single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been confirmed by both simulations and experiments. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied the thermodynamics of filling of a (6,6) carbon…
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the water permeation across the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with the radial breathing mode (RBM) vibration. It is found that the RBM can play a significant role in…
The fast flow rate of water through nanochannels has promising applications in desalination, energy conversion, and nanomedicine. We have used molecular dynamics simulations to show that the water molecules passing through a wide…
Recent studies of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous media have showed that water can significantly affect the tube mechanical properties. CNTs under hydrostatic compression can preserve their elastic properties up to large…
Carbon nanotube (CNT) wires approach copper's specific conductivity and surpass carbon fiber's strength, with further improvement anticipated with greater aspect ratios and incorporation of dopants with long-range structural order.…
The interaction strength of molecular hydrogen and water to carbon nanomaterials is relevant to, among many applications, hydrogen storage, water treatment, and water flow. However, accurate interaction energies for hydrogen and water with…
Friction forces are conventionally modeled via semiclassical theories that associate energy dissipation with newtonian motion on corrugated interface potentials. This consolidated approach is challenged at the nanoscale by observation of…
The self-assembly mechanism of one-end-open carbon nanotubes (CNTs) suspended in an aqueous solution was studied by molecular dynamics simulations. It was shown that two one-end-open CNTs with different diameters can coaxially self-assemble…
We compared the diffusion of water confined in armchair and zigzag carbon nanotubes for rigid and flexible water models. Using one rigid model, TIP4P/2005, and two flexible models, SPC/Fw and SPC/FH, we found that the number of the number…
The orientation of water molecules is the key factor for the fast transport of water in small nanotubes. It has been accepted that the bidirectional water burst in short nanotubes can be transformed into unidirectional transport when the…
