Abstract
Water in a nanoconfined geometry has attracted great interest from the viewpoint of not only basic science but also nanofluidic applications. Here, the rotational dynamics of water inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with mean diameters larger than ca. 1.4 nm were investigated systematically using 2H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy with high-purity SWCNTs and molecular dynamics calculations. The results were compared with those for hydrophilic pores. It was found that faster water dynamics could be achieved by increasing the hydrophobicity of the pore walls and decreasing the pore diameters. These results suggest a strategy that paves the way for emerging high-performance filtration/separation devices. Upon cooling below 220 K, it was found that water undergoes a transition from fast to slow dynamics states. These results strongly suggest that the observed transition is linked to a liquid-liquid crossover or transition proposed in a two-liquid states scenario for bulk water.
