Abstract

In this work, water confined in silica and carbon nanopores has been examined. The purpose of this study is to describe the melting behaviour and structure of ice confined in silica nanopores, KIT-6 and ordered carbon nanopores, CMK-3, having pore diameters of 5.9 and 5.2 nm, respectively. To determine the melting temperature of ice inside the nanopores, we performed differential scanning calorimetry measurements of the systems studied. We found that the melting temperature of confined ice is reduced relative to the bulk melting point and this shift is 16 K for water confined in KIT-6 and 21 K for water confined in CMK-3. The structural properties of water at the interfaces were analysed by using the neutron diffraction method (ND). The ND measurements for all the systems studied, showed the features of both hexagonal ice, \(I_\mathrm{h}\), and cubic ice, \(I_\mathrm{c}\). However, we show that the ice confined in nanopores does not have a structure corresponding to the typical hexagonal form or the metastable cubic form. The ice confined in nanopores has a structure made up of cubic sequences interlaced with hexagonal sequences, which produce the stacking disordered ice (ice \(I_\mathrm{sd})\).
