Water in Nonpolar Confinement: From Nanotubes to Proteins and Beyond *
TL;DR: The weak attractions to the confining wall, combined with strong interactions between water molecules, permit exceptionally rapid water flow, exceeding expectations from macroscopic hydrodynamics by several orders of magnitude.

Noncovalent interactions of molecules with single walled carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: This critical review surveys non-covalent interactions of carbon nanotubes with molecular species from a chemical perspective, particularly emphasising the relationship between the structure and dynamics of these structures and their functional properties.

TL;DR: High-resolution electron microscopy imaging of water locked between two graphene sheets is reported, an archetypal example of hydrophobic confinement, and shows that the nanoconfined water at room temperature forms ‘square ice’—a phase having symmetry qualitatively different from the conventional tetrahedral geometry of hydrogen bonding between water molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase diagram of water in carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: A phase diagram of water in single-walled carbon nanotubes at atmospheric pressure is proposed, which summarizes ice structures and their melting points as a function of the tube diameter up to 1.7 nm, suggesting that there exist at least nine ice phases in the cylindrical space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unusual Hydrogen Bonding in Water-Filled Carbon Nanotubes
TL;DR: The first experimental vibrational spectroscopy study providing direct evidence of a water phase inside single-walled carbon nanotubes that exhibits an unusual form of hydrogen-bonding due to confinement has potential implications for water in other highly confined systems, such as biological channels and nanoporous media.

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy showed that fullerene single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) are nearly uniform in diameter and that they self-organize into “ropes,” which consist of 100 to 500 SWNTs in a two-dimensional triangular lattice with a lattice constant of 17 angstroms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water conduction through the hydrophobic channel of a carbon nanotube
TL;DR: Observations suggest that carbon nanotubes, with their rigid nonpolar structures, might be exploited as unique molecular channels for water and protons, with the channel occupancy and conductivity tunable by changes in the local channel polarity and solvent conditions.

Formation of ordered ice nanotubes inside carbon nanotubes.
TL;DR: Simulations of the behaviour of water encapsulated in carbon nanotubes suggest the existence of a variety of new ice phases not seen in bulk ice, and of a solid–liquid critical point beyond which the distinction between solid and liquid phases disappears.
