Abstract

Water in single-walled carbon nanotubes was found to form nanosized ice-like structures (nanoice) above a water density of 0.5 g mL−1 in SWCNTs, but nanosized liquid water-like structures (nanowater) formed below that density, i.e., nanoice grows predominantly from nanowater at a low water density of around 0.5 g mL−1 and room temperature.
