Rheological properties of water films nanoconfined in two parallel Au plates are investigated with the aid of molecular dynamics simulations. The density distribution, velocity profile, and diffusion coefficients of the water film in a Couette flow are studied. Shear viscosity and its dependence on the shear rate of the water film are also examined in the present research. It is found that the density of the water molecules near the plates is much higher than that in the other regions. This indicates that many water molecules are adsorbed by the plates and adsorbed layers are formed in the vicinity of the plates. The diffusion of the whole film increases dramatically as the shear rate becomes greater than 1010 s-1. The shear viscosity decreases as the shear rate increases, especially for the water film with a small thickness, which indicates the shear-thinning behavior for viscosity of the nanoconfined film. Moreover, an increase in shear viscosity with a decrease in the film thickness can also be found in the present study.

Carbon honeycomb has a nanoporous structure with good mechanical properties including strength. Here we investigate the adsorption and diffusion of hydrogen in carbon honeycomb via grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations and molecular dynamics simulations including strength. Based on the adsorption simulations, molecular dynamics simulations are employed to study the effect of pressure and temperature for the adsorption and diffusion of hydrogen. To study the effect of pressure, we select the 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 bars. Meanwhile, we have studied the hydrogen storage capacities of the carbon honeycomb at 77 K, 153 K, 193 K, 253 K and 298 K. A high hydrogen adsorption of 4.36 wt.% is achieved at 77 K and 20 bars. The excellent mechanical properties of carbon honeycomb and its unique three-dimensional honeycomb microporous structure provide a strong guarantee for its application in practical engineering fields.

We report molecular dynamics simulations of n-butane and n-hexane adsorbed in the zeolite silicalite. These systems have been modelled within a rigid framework approximation and a Ryckaert-Bellemans model was adopted to describe the adsorbed molecules. The parametrization due to June, Bell and Theodorou has been used to describe the host-guest molecule interactions. Long simulations (1000 ps) have been performed, modelling these systems at a variety of sorbate loadings and temperatures. These have allowed us to investigate how the presence of the zeolite framework affects the thermodynamic properties, confomational distributions and diffusion related properties of the adsorbed molecules, and their response to changes in the loading and temperature. We have obtained estimates of the diffusion coefficients and activation energies which are in good agreement with experimentally measured data.
