Water confined in nanoscale cavities plays a crucial role everyday phenomena geology and biology, as well technological applications at the water–energy nexus. However, even understanding basic properties of nano-confined water is extremely challenging for theory, simulations, experiments. In particular, determining melting temperature quasi-one-dimensional ice polymorphs carbon nanotubes has proven to be an exceptionally difficult task, with previous experimental classical simulation approaches reporting values ranging from ∼180 K up ∼450 ambient pressure. this work, we use machine learning potential that delivers first principles accuracy (trained density functional theory approximation revPBE0-D3) study phase diagram confinement diameters 9.5 < d 12.5 Å. We find several distinct melt surprisingly narrow range between ∼280 ∼310 K, mechanism depends on nanotube diameter. These results shed new light one-dimension have implications operating conditions carbon-based filtration desalination devices.

This article introduces the first principles-based grand-canonical formalisms of several representative electronic structure calculation methods in electrochemistry, which are essential for elucidating atomic-scale mechanisms electrochemical reactions and discovering guiding principles designing advanced materials. While most applications still rely on approximate structures obtained by static calculations at absolute zero, foundational theories more rigorous molecular dynamics simulations also developing. I discuss that combine these with emerging machine-learning interatomic potentials, suggesting this approach could pave way to predict thermodynamics kinetics finite temperatures purely from principles.
