Nanoconfinement Effects in Electrocatalysis and Photocatalysis [PDF]
SmallAbstract Recently, the enzyme‐inspired nanoconfinement effect has garnered significant attention for enhancing the efficiency of electrocatalysts and photocatalysts. Despite substantial progress in these fields, there remains a notable absence of comprehensive and insightful articles providing a clear understanding of nanoconfined ...

The Influence of Nanoconfinement on Electrocatalysis
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.

Young’s modulus of nanoconfined liquids? [PDF]
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2016 In material science, bioengineering, and biology, thin liquid films and soft matter membranes play an important role in micro-lubrication, ion transport, and fundamental biological processes. Various attempts have been made to characterize the elastic properties, such as Young's modulus, of such films using Hertz theory by incorporating convoluted ...

Dynamics of confined water reconstructed from inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of bulk response functions [PDF]
, 2012 Nanoconfined water and surface-structured water impacts a broad range of fields. For water confined between hydrophilic surfaces, measurements and simulations have shown conflicting results ranging from “liquidlike” to “solidlike” behavior, from bulklike

Fluctuation modes of nanoconfined DNA [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physics, 2012 We report an experimental investigation of the magnitude of length and density fluctuations in DNA that has been stretched in nanofluidic channels. We find that the experimental data can be described using a one-dimensional overdamped oscillator chain with nonzero equilibrium spring length and that a chain of discrete oscillators yields a better ...
