要旨

We study the behavior of ambient temperature water under the combined effects of nanoscale confinement and applied electric field. Using molecular simulations we analyze the thermodynamic causes of field-induced expansion at some conditions, and contraction at others. Repulsion among parallel water dipoles and mild weakening of interactions between partially aligned water molecules prove sufficient to destabilize the aqueous liquid phase in isobaric systems in which all water molecules are permanently exposed to a uniform electric field. At the same time, simulations reveal comparatively weak field-induced perturbations of water structure upheld by flexible hydrogen bonding. In open systems with fixed chemical potential, these perturbations do not suffice to offset attraction of water into the field; additional water is typically driven from the unperturbed bulk phase to the field-exposed region. In contrast to recent theoretical predictions in the literature, our analysis and simulations confirm that classical electrostriction characterizes usual electrowetting behavior in nanoscale channels and nanoporous materials.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
