Open questions on water confined in nanoporous materials
François‐Xavier Coudert, Anne Boutin, Alain H. Fuchs
Abstract
Water adsorption in soft nanoporous materials can trigger large-scale structural transitions and introduce new properties in the confined water phase. Here, we look at some of the outstanding questions in this lively field of research.
