摘要:

水在碳纳米管(CNT)内的限制一直是实验和理论兴趣的最令人兴奋的课题之一。然而,大多数以前的研究,认为碳纳米管结构与简单的圆柱形状。采用经典的分子动力学方法研究了水分子在含有两个Y型结的多连接碳纳米管(MCCNT)中的平衡结构.我们调查的水分子在MCCNT中的水分子的密度和每个水分子的平均氢键数的结构安排。我们的研究结果表明,H2O分子的结构重排发生在Y-结的前面几埃,而不仅仅是在CNT结本身。这种现象的出现是因为在两种不同的氢键结构相互连接的区域中难以匹配氢键的边界条件。

英文摘要:

Water confinement inside a carbon nanotube (CNT) has been one of the most exciting subjects of both experimental and theoretical interest. Most of the previous studies, however, considered CNT structures with simple cylindrical shapes. In this paper, we report a classical molecular dynamics study of the equilibrium structural arrangement of water molecules confined in a multiply connected carbon nanotube (MCCNT) containing two Y-junctions. We investigate the structural arrangement of the water molecules in the MCCNT in terms of the density of water molecules and the average number of hydrogen bonds per water molecule. Our results show that the structural rearrangement of the H2O molecules takes place several angstroms ahead of the Y-junction, rather than only at the CNT junction itself. This phenomenon arises because it is difficult to match the boundary condition for hydrogen bonding in the region where two different hydrogen-bonded structures are interconnected with each other.
