    Description

    Carbon nanotubes are the poster child of 1-dimensional nanomaterials, but in recent years attention has spread to other chemistries such as boron-nitride and molybdenum-disulfide. The first nanotubes with zeolitic walls were recently synthesized. This new structure presents both nanoscale pores in the nanotube wall and a mesoscopic channel along the tube axis. These molecular structures have the potential to be impactful in several applications, but a fundamental understanding of how their new structure affects their adsorption and transport properties is critical to realizing their widespread use. We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of Si/Al ratio and the associated charge defects on the adsorption and transport of different liquids within the multiscale features of the zeolite nanotube.
