We studied liquid water confined within nanopores which present a high level of hydrophobicity thanks to a new method of synthesis. We found that the liquid state persists down to temperatures much lower than in the bulk and in hydrophilic materials of comparable sizes, allowing us to define a thermodynamic limit for the melting/crystallization of water.
我们研究了受一种新合成方法影响而呈现出高度疏水性的纳米孔内的受限液态水。我们发现，液态水在远低于其在同类尺寸亲水材料中体相和的温度下仍能保持稳定，这使我们能够为水的熔融/结晶定义一个热力学极限。
