How pressure affects confine water inside different nanoslits.

ABSTRACT: Nanoslits composed of different layered nanomaterials attract great attention in the theoretical and experimental investigations of nanofluidic devices due to their geometric simplicity and unique surface properties. Although many efforts have witnessed simulations of water molecules inside slit-like nanochannels formed by graphenes, the thermodynamic properties and transport behavior of water inside nanoslits formed by different two-dimensional materials are seldom investigated. In this paper, we choose nanoslits formed by graphene, boron nitride (hBN), and molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) as models, and study the water properties inside these nanoslits using traditional molecular dynamics simulations at different pressures. It is shown that water molecules can form a planar square
