Tuning the Dielectric Response of Water in Nanoconfinement through Surface Wettability

E. Papadopoulou, J. Zavadlav, R. Podgornik, M. Praprotnik, P. Koumoutsakos, ACS Nano 2021, paper

Dielectric response of water depends on the degree of the confinement as well as the material of confinement. This peculiar property can be exploited in emerging technologies including catalysis, gas storage, and green chemistry.
