Abstract
For the first time, we report calorimetric measurements of intrusion of aqueous LiCl solutions in a hydrophobic pure siliceous MFI zeolite (silicalite-1) under high pressure. Our results show that the intrusion heats are strongly dependent on the LiCl concentration. The intrusion process is endothermic for diluted solutions (molar H2O/LiCl = 12) as well as for water, but it becomes exothermic for a concentration close to saturation (molar H2O/LiCl = 4). Analysis of the data in the framework of wetting thermodynamics shows that besides surface wetting, other phenomena occur during intrusion, such as hydrogen-bond weakening and composition change. In all cases, water is preferentially intruded so that the intruded phase becomes more diluted than the bulk solution. In the case of the most diluted solution, only water molecules seemed to be intruded. Furthermore, silicalite-1 is shown to be very stable in the presence of LiCl solution, with no noticeable structural and textural modifications observed after intrusion.

Abstract
The liquid-to-vapor transition can occur under unexpected conditions in nanopores, opening the door to fundamental questions and new technologies. The physics of boiling in confinement is progressively introduced, starting from classical nucleation theory, passing through nanoscale effects, and terminating with the material and external parameters that affect the boiling conditions. The relevance of boiling in specific nanoconfined systems is discussed, focusing on heterogeneous lyophobic systems, chromatographic columns, and ion channels. The current level of control of boiling in nanopores enabled by microporous materials such as metal organic frameworks and biological nanopores paves the way to thrilling theoretical challenges and to new technological opportunities in the fields of energy, neuromorphic computing, and sensing.

Abstract
In this work, an extended classical nucleation theory (CNT), including line tension, is used to disentangle classical and non-classical effects in the nucleation of vapor from a liquid confined between two hydrophobic plates at a nanometer distance. The proposed approach allowed us to gauge, from the available simulation work, the importance of elusive nanoscale effects, such as line tension and non-classical modifications of the nucleation mechanism. Surprisingly, the purely macroscopic theory is found to be in quantitative accord with the microscopic data, even for plate distances as small as 2 nm, whereas in extreme confinement ([Formula: see text] nm), the CNT approximations proved to be unsatisfactory. These results suggest how classical nucleation theory still offers a computationally inexpensive and predictive tool useful in all domains where nanoconfined evaporation occurs—including nanotechnology, surface science, and biology.

Abstract
We present experimental and theoretical results concerning the forced filling and spontaneous drying of hydrophobic cylindrical mesopores in the dynamical regime. Pores are structured with organic/inorganic moieties responsible for a periodicity of the surface energy along their axis. We find that the forced intrusion of water in these hydrophobic pores presents a slow dynamics: the intrusion pressure decreases as the logarithm of the intrusion time. We find that this slow dynamics is well described quantitatively by a classical model of activated wetting at the nanoscale, giving access to the structural length scales and surface energies of the mesoporous material.

Abstract
On-demand access to renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources is critical to address current and future energy needs. To achieve this, the development of new mechanisms of efficient thermal energy storage (TES) is important to improve the overall energy storage capacity. Demonstrated here is the ideal concept that the thermal effect of developing a solid-liquid interface between a non-wetting liquid and hydrophobic nanoporous material can store heat to supplement current TES technologies. The fundamental macroscopic property of a liquid's surface entropy and its relationship to its solid surface are one of the keys to predict the magnitude of the thermal effect by the development of the liquid-solid interface in a nanoscale environment-driven through applied pressure. Demonstrated here is this correlation of these properties with the direct measurement of the thermal effect of non-wetting liquids intruding into hydrophobic nanoporous materials. It is shown that the model can resonably predict the heat of intrusion into rigid mesoporous silica and some microporous zeolite when the temperature dependence of the contact angle is applied. Conversely, intrusion into flexible microporous metal-organic frameworks requires further improvement. The reported results with further development have the potential to lead to the development of a new supplementary method and mechanim for TES.

Abstract
The suspension of nanoporous particles in a nonwetting liquid provides a unique solution to the crux of superfluid, sensing, and energy conversion, yet is challenged by the incomplete outflow of intruded liquid out of nanopores for the system reusability. We report that a continuous and spontaneous liquid outflow from hydrophobic nanopores with high and stable efficiency can be achieved by regulating the confinement of solid-liquid interactions with functionalized nanopores or/and liquids. Full-scale molecular-dynamics simulations reveal that the grafted silyl chains on nanopore wall surfaces will promote the hydrophobic confinement of liquid molecules and facilitate the molecular outflow; by contrast, the introduction of ions in the liquid weakens the hydrophobic confinement and congests the molecular outflow. Both one-step and multistep well-designed quasistatic compression experiments on a series of nanopores/nonwetting liquid material systems have been performed, and the results confirm the outflow mechanism in remarkable agreement with simulations. This study offers a fundamental understanding of the outflow of confined liquid from hydrophobic nanopores, potentially useful for devising emerging nanoporous-liquid functional systems with reliable and robust reusability.

Abstract
Understanding liquid motion in nanoenvironment is of fundamental importance in nanofluidics-based systems. While the liquid outflow from hydrophobic nanochannels can significantly affect system performance, its underlying mechanism remains unclear so far. Here, we present an experimental study of the gas-phase effect on liquid outflow behavior from hydrophobic nanochannels in a liquid nanofoam (LN) system. Four LN samples, consisting of same liquid-solid composition but different amounts of the gas phase, are characterized by cyclic quasi-static compression tests. A remarkable difference in the LN system reusability has been observed, indicating that the liquid outflow behavior is highly sensitive to the amount of the gas phase. As the gas amount increases, the degree of liquid outflow from hydrophobic nanochannels is considerably promoted. This promotive effect is because of the suppression of gas outflow and acceleration of bubble nucleation in the nanochannels. These fundamental findings open a new perspective on liquid outflow behavior and can facilitate the design of reusable nanofluidics-based energy absorbers.

Abstract
In this article, the effect of a porous material's flexibility on the dynamic reversibility of a nonwetting liquid intrusion was explored experimentally. For this purpose, high-pressure water intrusion together with high-pressure in situ small-angle neutron scattering were applied for superhydrophobic grafted silica and two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with different flexibility [ZIF-8 and Cu2(tebpz) (tebpz = 3,3',5,5'tetraethyl-4,4'-bipyrazolate)]. These results established the relation between the pressurization rate, water intrusion-extrusion hysteresis, and porous materials' flexibility. It was demonstrated that the dynamic hysteresis of water intrusion into superhydrophobic nanopores can be controlled by the flexibility of a porous material. This opens a new area of applications for flexible MOFs, namely, a smart pressure-transmitting fluid, capable of dissipating undesired vibrations depending on their frequency. Finally, nanotriboelectric experiments were conducted and the results showed that a porous material's topology is important for electricity generation while not affecting the dynamic hysteresis at any speed.

Abstract
In this contribution we explore by means of experiments, theory, and molecular dynamics the effect of pore morphology on the spontaneous extrusion of nonwetting liquids from nanopores. Understanding and controlling this phenomenon is central for manipulating nanoconfined liquids, e. g., in nanofluidic applications, drug delivery, and oil extraction. Qualitatively different extrusion behaviors were observed in high-pressure water intrusion-extrusion experiments on porous materials with similar nominal diameter and hydrophobicity: macroscopic capillary models and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the very presence or absence of extrusion is connected to the internal morphology of the pores and, in particular, to the presence of small-scale roughness or pore interconnections. Additional experiments with mercury confirmed that this mechanism is generic for nonwetting liquids and is rooted in the pore topology. The present results suggest a rational way to engineer heterogeneous systems for energy and nanofluidic applications in which the extrusion behavior can be controlled via the pore morphology.

Abstract
High pressure intrusion-extrusion of concentrated solutions of sodium salts in a pure-silica MFI-type zeolite (Silicalite-1) was studied for potential applications in mechanical energy absorption and storage. It was discovered that the anion nature has a drastic influence on the behavior and the energetic performances of "Silicalite-1 - concentrated Na+X- solution" systems, where X = Cl-, Br-, I-, NO2-, NO3-, ClO4- and CrO42-. In the case of NaNO2, NaClO4, Na2CrO4, and NaI a combination of bumper and shock-absorber behaviors with a partial irreversible solution intrusion was observed, whereas a fully reversible spring behavior is demonstrated for the intrusion-extrusion of NaBr, NaCl and NaNO3 solutions. In comparison with water, the intrusion pressure increases for all the solutions except for NaClO4 one. The irreversibility of intrusion decreases with a dilution rate, and the behavior of the corresponding systems with diluted solutions becomes very close. The variation of the system behavior and intrusion pressure values can be related to a different affinity of the corresponding anions for the pores of Silicalite-1. The samples before and after intrusion-extrusion experiments were characterized using several structural and physicochemical methods (XRD, TGA, solid-state NMR, and N2 physisorption), but no significant structural difference was observed.

Abstract
Molecular springs, constituted by nanoporous materials immersed in a nonwetting liquid, are compact, economical, and efficient means of storing energy, owing to their enormous surface area. Surface energy is accumulated during liquid intrusion inside the pores and released by decreasing liquid pressure and thus triggering confined cavitation. State-of-the-art atomistic simulations shed light on the intrusion and extrusion of water in hydrophobic nanopores, revealing conspicuous deviations from macroscopic theories, which include accelerated cavitation, increased intrusion pressure, and reversible intrusion and extrusion processes. Understanding these nanoscale phenomena is the key to a better design of molecular springs as it allows relating the characteristics of the materials to the overall properties of the devices, e.g., their operational pressure and efficiency. Heterogeneous systems composed of hydrophobic nanoporous materials and water are capable, depending on their characteristics, of efficiently dissipating (dampers) or storing (“molecular springs”) energy. However, it is difficult to predict their properties based on macroscopic theories—classical capillarity for intrusion and classical nucleation theory (CNT) for extrusion—because of the peculiar behavior of water in extreme confinement. Here we use advanced molecular dynamics techniques to shed light on these nonclassical effects, which are often difficult to investigate directly via experiments, owing to the reduced dimensions of the pores. The string method in collective variables is used to simulate, without artifacts, the microscopic mechanism of water intrusion and extrusion in the pores, which are thermally activated, rare events. Simulations reveal three important nonclassical effects: the nucleation free-energy barriers are reduced eightfold compared with CNT, the intrusion pressure is increased due to nanoscale confinement, and the intrusion/extrusion hysteresis is practically suppressed for pores with diameters below 1.2 nm. The frequency and size dependence of hysteresis exposed by the present simulations explains several experimental results on nanoporous materials. Understanding physical phenomena peculiar to nanoconfined water paves the way for a better design of nanoporous materials for energy applications; for instance, by decreasing the size of the nanopores alone, it is possible to change their behavior from dampers to molecular springs.

Abstract
This paper presents the first experimental evidence of pronounced electrification effects upon reversible cycle of forced water intrusion-extrusion in nanoporous hydrophobic materials. Recorded generation of electricity combined with high-pressure calorimetric measurements improves the energy balance of {nanoporous solid + nonwetting liquid} systems by compensating mechanical and thermal energy hysteresis in the cycle. Revealed phenomena provide a novel way of "mechanical to electrical" and/or "thermal to electrical" energy transformation with unprecedented efficiency and additionally open a perspective to increase the efficiency of numerous energy applications based on such systems taking advantage of electricity generation during operational cycle.

Abstract
We experimentally explore pressure-driven flow of water and n-hexane across nanoporous silica (Vycor glass monoliths with 7- or 10-nm pore diameters, respectively) as a function of temperature and surface functionalization (native and silanized glass surfaces). Hydraulic flow rates are measured by applying hydrostatic pressures via inert gases (argon and helium, pressurized up to 70 bar) on the upstream side in a capacitor-based membrane permeability setup. For the native, hydrophilic silica walls, the measured hydraulic permeabilities can be quantitatively accounted for by bulk fluidity provided we assume a sticking boundary layer, i.e., a negative velocity slip length of molecular dimensions. The thickness of this boundary layer is discussed with regard to previous capillarity-driven flow experiments (spontaneous imbibition) and with regard to velocity slippage at the pore walls resulting from dissolved gas. Water flow across the silanized, hydrophobic nanopores is blocked up to a hydrostatic pressure of at least 70 bar. The absence of a sticking boundary layer quantitatively accounts for an enhanced n-hexane permeability in the hydrophobic compared to the hydrophilic nanopores.

Abstract
The forced intrusion of water in hydrophobic nanoporous pulverulent material is of interest for quick storage of energy. With nanometric pores the energy storage capacity is controlled by interfacial phenomena. With subnanometric pores, we demonstrate that a breakdown occurs with the emergence of molecular exclusion as a leading contribution. This bulk exclusion effect leads to an osmotic contribution to the pressure that can reach levels never previously sustained. We illustrate, on various electrolytes and different microporous materials, that a simple osmotic pressure law accounts quantitatively for the enhancement of the intrusion and extrusion pressures governing the forced wetting and spontaneous drying of the nanopores. Using electrolyte solutions, energy storage and power capacities can be widely enhanced.

Abstract
Water confinement in the hydrophobic nanopores of highly siliceous zeolite having MFI and CHA topology is investigated by high pressure manometry coupled to differential calorimetry. Surprisingly, the intrusion of water is endothermic for MFI but exothermic for CHA. This phase transition depends on the geometry of the environment in which water is confined: channels (MFI) or cavities (CHA). The energy of intrusion is mainly governed by the change in the coordination of water molecules when they are forced to enter the nanopores and to adopt a weaker, hydrogen-bonded structure. At such a nanoscale, the properties of the molecules are governed strongly by geometrical restraints. This implies that the use of classical macroscopic equations such as Laplace-Washburn will have limitations at the molecular level.
