Empty spaces are abhorred by nature, which immediately rushes in to fill the void. Humans
have learnt pretty well how to make ordered empty nanocontainers, and to get useful …

The elastic behaviour and the structural evolution of microporous materials compressed
hydrostatically in a pressure-transmitting fluid are drastically affected by the potential crystal …

We report a series of Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations of water adsorption in NaY
and NaX faujasite, as well as in silicalite-1. Computed adsorption isotherms and heats of …

One-dimensional (1D) water chain structures constitute a potentially important form of water
that is poorly understood.[1] Many fundamental biological processes [2–9] appear to depend …

Vapor− liquid− solid is a well-established process in catalyst guided growth of 1-D
nanostructures, ie, nanobelts and nanowires. The catalyst particle is generally believed to …

Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopic (DRIFTS) measurements (4000−
1500 cm-1) and the results of neutron powder diffraction have been combined to study the …

Essential topological indices of the hydrogen-bond networks of water, methanol, ethanol,
and their binary mixtures adsorbed in microporous silicalite-1 (a hydrophobic zeolite with …

Integrated studies of CO on truncated bipyramidal TiO2 anatase nanoparticles mainly
exposing smooth (101) surfaces provide the missing link between TiO2 single crystals and …

We provide a comprehensive depiction of the behaviour of a nanodroplet of≃ 20 water
molecules confined in the pores of a series of 3D-connected isostructural zeolites with …

Molecular valves are becoming popular for potential biomedical applications. However, little
is known concerning their performance in energy and environmental areas. Zeolite RHO …
