Contents:
Introduction -- Monolayer square-like ice between two graphene sheets -- Superheating of monolayer ice in graphene nanocapillaries -- AB-stacking bilayer square-like ice in graphene nanocapillaries -- AA-stacking bilayer ice in graphene nanocapillaries -- Trilayer ice in graphene nanocapillaries -- Compression limit of 2D water confined in graphene nanocapillaries -- Summary and future work -- Appendix A: Mechanical design on graphene-based materials.
In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: In this book, the authors use molecular dynamics simulations to conduct a comprehensive study of the compression/superheating limit and phase transition of 2D (monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer) water/ice constrained in graphene nanocapillaries. When subjected to nanoscale confinement and under ultrahigh pressure, water and ice behave quite differently than their bulk counterparts, partly because the van der Waals pressure can spark a water-to-ice transformation, known as the metastability limit of two-dimensional (2D) liquids. From a mechanical standpoint, this liquid-to-solid transformation characterizes the compression limit (or metastability limit) of 2D water. The findings presented here could help us to better understand the phase behavior of 2D confined water/ice.
