Rich polymorphism of a rod-like liquid crystal (8CB) confined in two types of unidirectional nanopores [PDF]
We present a neutron and X-rays scattering study of the phase transitions of 4-n-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) confined in unidirectional nanopores of porous alumina and porous silicon (PSi) membranes with an average diameter of 30 nm. Spatial confinement

A monolayer graphene/phosphoric‐acid mixed proton‐electron conducting membrane combines proton‐conducting nanoconfined acid channels with electron‐conducting graphene nanosheets for efficient high‐temperature hydrogen purification. The membrane achieves nearly 100% H2/CO2 selectivity and 69 GPU hydrogen permeance at 250°C, arising from synergistic ...

Ice formation and solvent nanoconfinement in protein crystals
Ice formation within protein crystals is a major obstacle to the cryocrystallographic study of protein structure, and has limited studies of how the structural ensemble of a protein evolves with temperature in the biophysically interesting range from ...

Formation of liquid menisci in flexible nanochannels [PDF]
This paper describes the elasto-capillary formation of menisci at the liquid-air interface in nanochannels that are covered with flexible capping membranes. The equilibrium between the capillary pressure in the fluid and the membrane bending results in a

Unravelling the Secret of Sulfur Confinement and High Sulfur Utilization in Hybrid Sulfur‐Carbons
Thermal condensation of inverse vulcanized sulfur‐carbon hybrids enables a bottom‐up sulfur confinement strategy, in which a protective carbon phase is progressively constructed around sulfur species. The resulting carbon nanodomains covalently tether sulfur chains and stabilize radical intermediates. This integrated architecture effectively suppresses

Structural transitions and guest/host complexing of liquid crystal helical nanofilaments induced by nanoconfinement [PDF]
A lamellar liquid crystal (LC) phase of certain bent-core mesogenic molecules can be grown in a manner that generates a single chiral helical nanofilament in each of the cylindrical nanopores of an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane.

The new Cu‐containing MOF (Me2NH2)(CuICl2)@[Cu4(INA)4Cl2O]·1.5dmf (3) contains a cation and an anion as guests and shows UV‐near‐mid‐IR absorption and near‐IR emission. MOF 3 shows gas‐solid reactivity in the presence of NH3 and HCOOH to yield two new 3D MOF.

RETRACTED: Capacitive Behavior of Aqueous Electrical Double Layer Based on Dipole Dimer Water Model
The aim of the present paper is to investigate the possibility of using the dipole dimer as water model in describing the electrical double layer capacitor capacitance behaviors. Several points are confirmed.

Nanoconfined ammonia borane in a flexible metal-organic framework Fe-MIL-53: clean hydrogen release with fast kinetics [PDF]
We demonstrated the dehydrogenation behaviour of nanoconfined ammonia borane (AB) in Fe–MIL-53, a flexible metal–organic framework (MOF) by solid state thermolysis.
