The Influence of Nanoconfinement on Electrocatalysis [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2022 AbstractThe use of nanoparticles and nanostructured electrodes are abundant in electrocatalysis. These nanometric systems contain elements of nanoconfinement in different degrees, depending on the geometry, which can have a much greater effect on the activity and selectivity than often considered.

Nonlocal Dielectric Response of Water in Nanoconfinement [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 Recent experiments reporting a very low dielectric permittivity for nanoconfined water have renewed the interest to the structure and dielectric properties of water in narrow gaps. Here, we describe such systems with a minimal Landau-Ginzburg field-theory composed of a nonlocal bulk-determined term and a local water-surface interaction term.
